Reviews

• Jarosław from Poland – 17 July 2022 (8/10)

  Great location – close to the vaporetto and restaurants, but in a quiet street. To a well-stocked supermarket – 50 m. What was great? The size of the apartment, spaciousness, comfortable beds, air conditioning, great kitchen equipment. I highly recommend this place.

• Tereza from Czech Republic – 29 October 2024 (9/10)

  It was in a great location in the center of Venice. We received detailed information on how to reach the apartment. Communication was without any issues. The apartment was super clean.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was good.

• Claudia from Canada – 28 September 2024 (8/10)

  Location and spaces
  
  What could be improved: The shower at the bathroom is not good

• Deniz from Turkey – 17 September 2024 (9/10)

  The host was so helpful and reachable. The place has everything that we needed and the location was really good.
  
  What could be improved: Since the building is a bit old, just like most of the buildings in the area, one can hear the noises from upstairs but this is not about the place itself. Just a reminder for the future guests.

• Ahsan from United Kingdom – 5 November 2023 (8/10)

  Excellent location, close to groceries and walking distance to Rialto bridge. Good kitchen and size of flat
  
  What could be improved: Bathroom is small, and the bath difficult to use. No interesting view. Bed could be more comfortable

• Gogev – 11 October 2023 (9/10)

  The location was great, flat was spacious and clean, very comfortable. I strongly recommend this apartment.
  
  What could be improved: There were two short electric shortages, owner should have the network checked

• Monica from United States – 20 October 2022 (9/10)

  this property is so spacious and clean. really well maintained in an older building.
  
  What could be improved: it is a bit far from everything

• Gisela from Canada – 14 October 2022 (8/10)

  Apt. is roomy, although a bit,dark. walls are thin so upstairs noise at times. Court yard secluded, but nearby neighbourhood lively with shops and food. Central to sites.
  
  What could be improved: Awful,reception. We iarrived an hr later than planned due to traffic and there was nobody there to open the front door. Our phone did not work, it was a desolate feeling in that deserted court yard. My daughter went into a store in adjacent street for some phone assistance. Via,the,phone the apt. coordinator openend the front door remotely and we found the key on the apt. door. Problem solved, but it was a very annoying start. They could have texted us if nobody could meet us at the door. Because they knew how to do it the day of dept. demanding to deposit the city tax on the kitchentable. Why not be more accommodating for arrival of tired guests?

• Hope from United States – 28 August 2022 (8/10)

  easy walk to Rialto and St Mark’s. awesome air conditioning
  
  What could be improved: tub shower didn’t bother us but might others.

• Shireen from Netherlands – 14 August 2022 (9/10)

  The apartment is clean and has all the basic facilities you could need. There is very good airconditioning. Also you can fix a simple meal in the kitchen, use the fridge and wash your clothes. I did not meet anyone in person, but Marine was easy to contact trough whatsapp and answered our questions right away. Last but not least: the location is fantastic! I absolutely recommend this apartment!
  
  What could be improved: We were happy!
