  Disappointed, except for the location

  Left on 10/02/2012 for a stay in September 2012
  
  

  This apartment is close to the train station (i.e. pier) in less than 10 minutes walk, which is really great for travelling along the canal and to other outlying islands like Murano, etc. But, if you are a first time traveller to Venice, it will be a bit difficult for you to look the apartment up by yourself as it was hiding inside a narrow alley. It is also not close to any supermarket.
  
  The bedrooms are okay with clean sheets. But, the master bedroom faced the main alley to the train station. You might be woken up by the footsteps and chatting of nearby residents or travellers to and from the train station.
  
  There is only 1 bathroom with shower. Whenever someone was doing the dishes in the kitchen while I was having a shower, I found the hot water for shower unstable, which took a long time to heat up and turns cold many times suddenly during the shower.
  
  The washing machine is in the storeroom downstairs. On the night we wanted to wash our clothes, we were shocked to find the storeroom flooded. We therefore couldn't do any washing but to use the self laundry located round the corner next to Hotel Marine. We contacted the landlord immediately and we were given a quick response. The landlord came with her father to clean up the mess in the storeroom late at night without disturbing us upstairs. We were told that the flooding was caused by the air-conditioning of the apartment. So, we had to turn off the air-conditioner. It's lucky that we were not staying in Venice during the hottest months.
  
  Another con is that the kitchen was dirty. The pots, utensils and oven were not cleaned properly. Although the landlord claimed that cleaning these things is the responsibility of the previous tenant, it is really unacceptable that the landlord failed to check on the cleanliness of these basic kitchen facilities and then rented the apartment to another tenant with dirty facilities. Even in the master bedroom, I found the clipped fingernails of the previous tenant on the floor, which showed that the apartment was not cleaned properly.
  
  We also complained that there were no kitchen rolls, olive oil, vinegar, etc in the kitchen. But, we were given the reply that these were not the things to be provided by the landlord. We expected these basic things should be provided, as in all other rentals that we had stayed in Italy. However, we were given such kind of reply.
  
  Moreover, wifi is not provided for free as in other rentals in Italy. We had to pay 1 euro per person per day for using the wifi.
  
  It's not a good value for the price we paid.

  I am very sorry for the way things went.
  I want to make some clarifications.
  The bedroom window is not absolutely in the street leading to the station.
  The supermarket is a 10/15 minute walk from the apartment, you have to adapt to Venice.
  The problem of flooding in stock has been resolved, these things can happen and we did everything possible to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
  I apologize for the cleaning, the tenants before you had left a disaster and within hours we were not able to thoroughly clean the apartment.
  I personally do not think it's a big deal if there is no house in the olive oil, vinegar, etc. ...., I leave the kitchen for you and I find you need for breakfast as welcome.
  WiFi did not write that is free.
  The price was very fair, less than the normal price, the apartment is about 100 mq., with a maximum capacity of 8 people, only if you book for 3 people is more expensive than an apartment suitable for smaller and only 3 people.
  I apologize again for cleaning.
