Reviews

• John from United States – 23 September 2023 (9/10)

  The location of the apartment was superb. The manager was extremely helpful and offered many tips about the area. 👍

• Mlouise from United States – 11 March 2025 (9/10)

  Great location! Easy to get to St. Marks and the grand canal. Right by the most beautiful bookstore in Venice!
  
  What could be improved: I’d like a night light for the bathroom.

• Benjamin from United States – 25 August 2024 (8/10)

  Very large and comfortable apartment in a good location in Venice with fantastic views of the canals.
  
  What could be improved: It was a little bit difficult to get in and out with many steps and no elevator. There was another apartment directly next to ours which was also rented and the only separation between the two was locked doors. Noise traveled easily between the two and with travelers on different schedules created some annoyance.

• Matt from United Kingdom – 31 July 2024 (9/10)

  Clean, great location about 10 minutes from Rialto, St Marks and Ospedale. Very responsive and helpful owner, good a/cin flat.
  
  What could be improved: The kitchen is small and well designed. It's a shame that the fridge does not have a small freezer/ice box

• Roshan from Denmark – 20 July 2024 (8/10)

  Central location

• Lauren from Australia – 16 July 2024 (8/10)

  Clean, facilities were great

• Mark from United States – 1 June 2024 (9/10)

  Very nice, vaulted ceilings, very clean, nice location. Just a few minutes from Saint Mark's square walking. Very good inexpensive pizza restaurant just around the corner. The apartment is very large, nice view over a canal. It worked well for our family of 7. Master bedroom was amazing.
  
  What could be improved: Had to meet check in person at a local square, because even with GPS the place would have been difficult to find. However, once checkin was done, it was easy to relocate. Also it was inconvenient to have to pay cash during checkin for the new visitor tax.

• Sara from United States – 30 May 2024 (8/10)

  Location was great. So-go worked great. Beds were comfortable. Hot showers. Everything we needed. It was a great place to stay in Venice. Plenty of space for our family of 7.
  
  What could be improved: There were mosquitoes that bit us while there. There was no elevator so be prepared to carry luggage and the washing machine is up another floor.

• Kellly from United States – 11 May 2024 (9/10)

  Excellent customer service from the apartment host and great location.
  
  What could be improved: The property was slightly outdated.

• Olivia from United Kingdom – 21 August 2023 (9/10)

  Lovely apartment, well equipped, great location and we had very helpful advice while being shown around the property.
