Reviews

• Gabor from Austria – 16 September 2022 (9/10)

  Excellent locations for visitors of the Biennale. Interesting view along the street and the canal below. Comfortable bed and bath.
  
  What could be improved: Some kitchen utensils outdated or missing.

• Soni from Greece – 2 April 2025 (9/10)

  The location is great. It isn't the best room you ever stayed, but taking into account Venice standards and prices, we were very happy. The room was value for money.
  
  What could be improved: Beds could be more comfortable. The stairs maybe a bit of a problem for elder peolpe or people with mobility issues. For us it was not a problem.

• Prashant from India – 23 June 2024 (9/10)

  The host arranged an agent to pick up from boat station to handover the key and drop at property. Though I have to pay late check in fees of 50 euro.
  Quite a big room and super comfortable for 3 people. It has a sofa cum bunk bed, so you may accommodate 4th person.
  On the sides of canal and sea.
  It is on one of the main streets of Venice, so lots of restaurants on the streets.
  It has washing machine.
  
  What could be improved: Paid a fees of 50 euro for late check in.
  Quite far from boat station, so if you have heavy luggage you need to drag till property as island do not have other means to reach your destination.

• Robert from United Kingdom – 11 March 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: The bed, quite hard and very flat pillows.

• Ryan from United Kingdom – 12 October 2022 (8/10)

  great location and host
  
  What could be improved: there was no mosquito deterrent, it was a nightmare in the evening and night even after having the windows closed, you could benefit from netting or complementary spray

• Carla from Spain – 27 July 2024 (9/10)

  The location is great … calm but excellently communicated with the arsenal ferry stop, and 20 mins from San Marco and Rialto ; also next to via garibaldi full of cute restaurants and cafe , not super touristic or crowded but nice and with good taste . The apartment is nice and comfortable, simple but has everything to have a good stay . The ac worked great . The kitchen was well equipped. The host were kind and attentive, they helped a lot .
  
  What could be improved: The beds and pillows can be updated . It is a second floor by stairs (very standard in Venice so not a big drama) and the keys are quite tricky.

• Hubbard from United States – 22 June 2024 (9/10)

  Fantastic location with tons of food options very close by. The vaparetto (water taxi) is a short walk away, making moving around the city very easy. The kitchen was a great size and decently stocked.
  
  What could be improved: My husband is tall (6'1") and the ceilings on the stairways heading up to the property are quite low–he had to always be watching that he didn't bump his head.

• Richard from Canada – 11 June 2024 (8/10)

  Location was ideal. Clean apartment. Responsive landlord.
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunately, AC conked out. Really hot weather and couldn't help mosquitos were around. Landlord was good to provide fans when it was evident AC couldn't be fixed before our stay ended. They authorized a discount for the inconvenience. They really tried to help us.

• Simay from Italy – 27 January 2024 (8/10)

  It has everything that you want kitchen full equipped also have towels and hairdryer
  
  What could be improved: They take late check in fee 50€ only for 1 hour late

• Jarrell from United States – 19 September 2022 (9/10)

  The apartment was spacious and very clean. The furnished kitchen was very helpful and we loved that it had a clothes washing machine! The hostess was very helpful and nice, too.
  
  What could be improved: Just a suggestion that the owner include instructions for the washing machine and the coffeemaker in English for those of us who don’t use those kinds.
  Very minor things like hand soap only at one of the sinks and only the one roll of toilet paper. You do need to be able to climb some fairly steep steps as it is up one floor. We had no problems though. And there is a grocer just down the street, very conveniently.
