Very comfortable. Perfect for our family (two adults and one 9 yo).Chrysoula from Greece – 22 February 2023 (8/10)
Good location.
Simon from United Kingdom – 18 September 2023 (7/10)
Location was very good, the bed was comfortable, with good air con.
What could be improved: The toaster didn’t work, sofa bed very uncomfortable. No auto hallway lights so was a little dangerous walking up and the hallway stairs. Hallway in very poor state of repair.
Just some basics expected in a self catering ABnb. No toilet roll, shower gel and no previous items left to help the next guests.
I was bitten a lot by mosquito, which was an area and seasonal issue, not so much the flat.Meryl from United States – 25 April 2022 (5/10)
The location was perfect for my sculpture display in the Marinaressa Gardens – only a 3 minute walk. Inside, the heat and hot water was excellent. The hostess made very good arrangements to help us get to and from the airport with a private water taxi.
What could be improved: The stairs were broken and treacherous to walk up. They were not lighted. We did not expect to find such an old building.
The TV was broken and several lights were out inside the apartment.Amandine from Belgium – 7 May 2024 (9/10)
Quartier calme.
Hôte disponible. Le logement répondait à mes attentesGiulia from Italy – 3 May 2024 (8/10)
La posizione è ottima, il quartiere tranquillo e servito di tutto. La casa è piccola ma accogliente, c'è quasi tutto quello che serve. È luminosa e silenziosa.
What could be improved: È stato tutto soddisfacente, tranne forse la mancanza del bidet e di qualche stoviglia in più.Alejandra from Colombia – 6 November 2022 (9/10)
Está cerca a la plaza San Marcos y el Apartamento estaba muy bonito.
What could be improved: A pesar de que está bien ubicado, está un poco escondido.Annalisa from Italy – 3 November 2024 (8/10)
Alloggio molto accogliente e dotato di tutti i comfort. Host disponibile e molto gentile.
