Reviews

  • Adam from Poland – 2 February 2025 (10/10)

    Wspaniała lokalizacja, wszędzie blisko do sklepu, restauracji, placu San Marco i innych atrakcji. Apartament bardzo wygodny, przestronny i czysty. Doskonałe miejsce dla rodzin z dziećmi. Polecam!

    What could be improved: Brak minusów.

  • Mª from Spain – 11 December 2024 (10/10)

    What could be improved: Nada

  • Leuschner from Germany – 15 November 2024 (9/10)

    What could be improved: Man hat gar keinen Kontakt zu den Vermietern, da es eine anonyme Agentur zu sein scheint, sie antworten aber rasch.
    Trotzdem war das für uns ungewohnt, weil man gar nicht weiß, wer "dahintersteckt"…
    Da aus allen möglichen Wohnungen, auch von anderen Anbietern, morgens scharenweise, vor allem dunkelhäutige Menschen mit Wäschepaketen und Putzzeug hervorkamen, verursachte das bei uns ein etwas beklemmendes Gefühl, Teil dieses Systems zu sein.
    So war alles superneu, blitzblank und gemütlich, aber dadurch auch wie eine künstliche Welt inmitten alter Häuser und weniger priviligierter Anwohner.

  • Pedro from Brazil – 2 November 2024 (10/10)

    Excelente.. limpo .. bem localizado… atende todas as expectativas

    What could be improved: ao ligar o forno elétrico .. nçao pode ligar mais nada senão derruba o disjuntor geral

  • Barbara from Germany – 18 September 2024 (8/10)

    Super Lage, gut ausgestattet.

    What could be improved: Der nette Innenhof war recht vernachlässigt, so dass man sich dort nicht aufhalten mochte.

  • Miguel from Spain – 14 August 2024 (10/10)

    El estado al llegar, con el aire acondicionado puesto, la ubicación, cerca de San Marcos.

  • Malin from Sweden – 21 July 2024 (10/10)

    Bra utrustat och tilledäckligt stort för en familj på 4 personer. Bra kök, badrum och sovrum. Trevligt med en terrass dock använde vi den inte för det var för varmt. Lägenheten ligger väldigt bra till i ett lugnt område med nära till allt. Bra service från företaget.

  • Jan from Czech Republic – 16 July 2024 (10/10)

    Čisté, krásně zařízené a skvěle vybavené. Pobyt v apartmánu byl příjemný, jako přijet domů. Ocenili jsme dvě oddělené ložnice a klimatizaci ve všech místnostech
