• Constance from Australia – 3 July 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment was a great space for two people and a had all the amenities needed. We ate out so other than the use of the kettle not much else was used however having said that the kitchen was fully stocked with pots, utensils and cutlery. It was close to the water taxis and Marcella gave us plenty of information about getting around and tips on tickets.

• Jean from United States – 19 October 2024 (8/10)

  Quiet neighborhood. Good access to airport.
  
  What could be improved: Kitchen was tricky.bed platform was inconvenient.

• Josef from New Zealand – 25 September 2024 (9/10)

  Quite a nice apartment and located in an excellent spot for exploring Venezia. It's well equipped. It was away from busy areas so it was nice to sleep without any noise from the street at night. Alice who met me for check in was very kind and got me sorted with everything at the apartment.
  
  What could be improved: The door locks are a bit fiddly and take some getting used to. The bed had two thin, firm pillows and I had to use both to sleep properly. As a solo traveller this isn't ideal but do-able. It would be great to have thicker or more pillows on the bed, especially if a couple were to stay here.
