Lovely Apartment in Venice

The property is in a great neighbourhood. It is easily walkable and you can get to everywhere within 20 minutes. The cicchetti bar next to it is really friendly and cheap.

I'm going to start with the good... Location was great. Not too far of a walk from bus stop over the bridge. Most of the major attractions are in an easy walking distance away. There were lots of restaurants to choose from right outside your hotel door. The room waw old, but everything perfectly functional. I thoutht the old part added character personally. The bed was comfortable and shower worked fine. House keeping came everyday to clean. My main complaint really is how impossible it was to find this hotel. They didn't have anything up for a sign saying "Lovely Appartments" or anything indicating I found the hotel. Because apparently I found the hotel first try; I was right outside the main door, but I had no idea. I tried calling the hotel multiple times, but they never answered the phone. Finally I was able to figure out on my own that it was the hotel, and i miraculously figured out their weird key system to get through the gate and door. Then I get to my room and the keys to my room are just sitting inside the door so that anyone can grab them or go into my room. This is a huge security risk! What if someone was waiting inside my room? What if someone stole things out of my room and I get blamed for it? What if someone just takes my room (on purpose or accident)? I couldn't get ahold of the staff, so what could I do then? This hotel needs to get its act together and start acting like a hotel.

Really Not a "Lovely" apartment

We were late for check-in (after 6pm not like late night) hence we called and informed property. The address given was not very clear so we were not able to locate property but they did not respond to calls. Somehow after help of locals we reached property, there was no one to open door. We called, messaged, whatapped, knocked everything. No one responded. At the end we had to drop the property and hunt for another hotel with all luggage in our hand. Worst experience ever.
