Sweet Venice

The best part was at check in, we were helped by a very nice man who walked us to the unit (5 min away), carried my bag over the bridges, and not only explained the amenities in the unit, but also gave us all kinds of advice about the Vaparetto, where to take a gondola ride, and how to get to the airport. Other than that, I wish I had picked a different accommodation because it was so far from the train station and there are so many bridge crossings and ways to get lost in between that it would have been much more convenient to stay closer. The shared bathroom was also a negative for us. Having stayed in two other Italian cities prior to Venice where we had private bathrooms, by comparison it really was quite an inconvenience to have to cart your toiletries back-and-forth and hope that the bathroom/shower will be available when you need it. Also, because it is a shared unit with another bedroom, sharing a living room, kitchen and bathroom with you, there is the possibility you will not be securely locked in the unit if the other people have to check out first and leave their keys in their room. Overall, the accommodations were very basic and average. I know Venice must be expensive overall, but it seems like we paid too much for what we got.

Be Honest They did not tell us that we would be sharing the room with strangers. Very disappointing
