Reviews

  • Irna from India – 8 July 2024 (9/10)

    Our check-in assistant was very nice and cordial, he helped us a lot!

  • Denisa from Czech Republic – 24 April 2023 (9/10)

    The apartment was beautiful.

  • Young from United States – 14 June 2022 (9/10)

    This cosy apartment is located perfectly for visiting the Venice Biennial. I am a simple traveler and don't require too many frills. The location is in between the Giardini and Arsenale, so it made it easy to see everything within a few days. It's also tucked behind an excellent local restaurant Nevodi, and this area is more quiet than other parts of Venice and less full of tourists. I never met the host, but she made communication very clear over WhatsApp for keys and other matters. There is also a daybed which is great if you are traveling with another person.

    What could be improved: Wifi at night would go out a few times, but otherwise it was ok. The kitchen doesn't have too many supplies, so I ended up eating out most of the time. I had a late flight arrival from Marco Polo, and unfortunately it would cost me an extra 50 Euros for a late check-in after 9pm PLUS chartering a private water taxi at 100 Euros. Ultimately, I paid for another room near the airport. It may be helpful for other travelers to know about this complication if you have a late evening flight.

  • Anastasia from Germany – 23 July 2023 (7/10)

    Location: easy access to waterbus station, right in the corner of busy street with lots of restaurants, city centre walkable distance. Elena, our contact for the apartment, was very helpful and she made sure to inform everything by the check in. The size is quite cozy for 2-3 people. Bathroom is excellent. Basically if you just need a room to crash for the night, this apartment has it all.

    What could be improved: 1. No electric kettle – must use gas stove
    2. Have to throw away trash ourselves (otherwise pay extra 20 euro)
    3. Only portable AC – window must be opened
    4. We have to sort trash but there's only 1 single bin for all trash
    5. The stairs.

  • Ingrid from France – 17 October 2024 (8/10)

    La propreté, la taille, la localisation près de Garibaldi avec ses nombreux commerces et restaurants tout en n’étant pas bondé.

    What could be improved: La dernière marche de l’escalier, et le manque de plan de travail dans la cuisine, pour préparer à manger ou simplement couper du pain. Il manque également une machine à café plus pratique que les petites cafetières italiennes qui mettent beaucoup de temps à chauffer.

  • Gisela from Mexico – 17 April 2024 (9/10)

    La ubicación es conveniente. Está cerca del centro pero lo suficientemente apartado para ser silencioso y tranquilo en las noches. El departamento es perfecto para dos personas, está bien equipado y limpio.

    What could be improved: El acceso puede ser difícil, ya que las escaleras son reducidas.

  • Andrea from Romania – 27 May 2023 (7/10)

    apartamentul este situat intr-o zona foarte buna

    What could be improved: nu arata ca in poze, mobila foarte veche

  • Ottilia from Romania – 13 February 2023 (9/10)

    Kedves házigazda, aki segített meg abban is, hogy hogyan jutsz el a reptérről a szállásra.
    Mindenben segített.
    A lakás felszereltsége is okés volt, nagyon otthonos.
    Meleg lakás fogadott, amikor megérkeztünk.
    Az apartman nagyon jó helyen található, ahonnan gyalog mindent meg lehet közelíteni és a tömegközlekedési eszközök is közel vannak.

  • Estella from France – 25 September 2022 (8/10)

    son emplacement près du vaporetto et des commerces ce fut très pratique

    What could be improved: les escaliers et le bruit de la Clim

  • Eik from Germany – 10 April 2022 (7/10)

    Sauber.
