  • Leonard from Germany – 9 November 2024 (10/10)

    Clean Apartment. Good communication, also when the plans are changing. Heating is working. Checkin was good. Providing some necessary washing utensils.

    What could be improved: Sometimes water pressure changes, while showering, but still good for Venice. Restaurant situation around is a little challanging, but is not a problem caused of the Appartment.

  • Rhiannon from United Kingdom – 4 November 2024 (10/10)

    Lovely spacious property in a great location for the Biennale

  • Stacy from United States – 27 June 2024 (10/10)

    The apartment was comfortable and quiet. The design of the apartment is thoughtful- there’s space for everything you need. Location is great for Biennale. Some nice restaurants nearby. After a long day of sightseeing, it was nice to come back to the apartment to rest and recharge.

  • Gabor from Hungary – 28 July 2023 (9/10)

    Excellent location, very close to a Vaporetto stop. In a quiet street, little outside the center but everything is in walking distance.
    The place is clean, well equipped. The bathroom is enormous, the beds are comfortable.
    The hosts are very flexible and welcoming

  • Deepak from Netherlands – 23 August 2022 (10/10)

    location, cleanliness, facilities at the property (except a few)

    What could be improved: few things were broken like bathroom lock, no shower gate

  • Laura from Italy – 6 June 2022 (10/10)

    Beautiful and spacious apartment, perfectly equipped, clean and peaceful, in the lively Giardini area, close to the vaporetto stop and bars/restaurants.
    Wonderful host!

  • Huw from United Kingdom – 30 April 2022 (10/10)

    Good location, lovely renovation of a characterful house, easy to reach waterbuses and the Biennale exhibitions and a pleasant twenty minute walk along the waterfront to St Mark’s Square.

    What could be improved: nothing

  • Nieulandt from Belgium – 18 July 2024 (8/10)

    Very well located apartment for visiting the Biennale. The tips we received from Damiano also led us to restaurants where we had a very tasty meal. Much appreciated.

    What could be improved: Airco is pretty loud.

  • Rebecca from Germany – 26 October 2023 (9/10)

    Damiano was very accommodating, fast in responding and everything was easy and nice. The appartement is on the first floor and it was very kind to be able to store our luggage before and after the check in/out times (kind of locker under the stairs)

    What could be improved: just an idea: take some taps for the dishwasher with you, we didnt think about that.
