Reviews

• Karima from Canada – 7 September 2024 (10/10)

  Wonderful location close to shops and transportation. Walking distance to the attractions.

• Carolyn from Australia – 24 October 2024 (9/10)

  A lovely home for a family to experience local life and beautiful Venice. The host Barbara was very friendly and thoughtful. Location suits us too (not much walk from the train station and very close to the Ferry wharf). The property is very clean, with two good sized bedrooms (the main one seemed even bigger than I expected). We enjoyed our stay in the Guglie apartment. Highly recommended to other families. We also enjoyed dinner at the nearby restaurants (the seafood pasta was delicious).
  
  What could be improved: Nothing I could think of. All good.

• Kym from Canada – 18 October 2024 (9/10)

  Barbara was a wonderful hostess. The apartment had everything that you needed. Location was a 6 minute walk from the train. The apartment was very quiet at night. A/C and heating worked well. Lots of restaurants to pick from. Walkable to all of Venice. Would stay here again. Recommend!
  
  What could be improved: The only negative are the stairs. It's not a big deal, but if you have any issues with stairs, it could be a problem.

• Nev from Canada – 8 October 2024 (9/10)

  The location was very good. Close to transportation, restaurants, stores and markets. Unit is off the main tract so was relatively quiet. Unit was very clean and comfortable and all we needed for our 3 night stay. Our Host Barbara was always just a Whatsapp message away if needed. She provided lots of maps and info in the unit to help us.
  
  What could be improved: The only real thing that we had concern with was not with the unit itself but in the stairway of the building that was extremely dark (no lights) at night that made walking the marble/stone stairs a challenge.

• Emma from United Kingdom – 26 September 2024 (9/10)

  The location was a short walk from the station. Very handy for the water bus with supermarket and restaurants on our doorstep. Bedrooms were both good size with a well equipped kitchen. Small but adequate bathroom. The apartment was very clean and the air con was much needed!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Kum from Singapore – 13 September 2024 (10/10)

  Barbara was a wonderful host. She met us at the station and explained everything in details to us and she was very helpful. The apartment was clean pleasant and super comfortable and was fully equipped with everything we needed. 100% would stay at this apartment again!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Lauren from United Kingdom – 11 September 2024 (10/10)

  Barbara met us at the ferry stop to show us the apartment and gave us loads of info on where to go and what to see!
  
  Apartment was perfect. Really quiet at nights (as it backs onto a courtyard) but excellently placed to get to all parts of Venice either walking or at the ferry station!
  
  Everything was clean and well equipped.

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

  Much bigger than anticipated. Great WiFi. Very clean & well equipped too.

• Nikki from Australia – 1 July 2024 (10/10)

  Excellent location. Not far from the main streets and station but still able to 'escape' the busy city. Barbara was absolutely amazing and so helpful and kind to us as first timers in Venice. Her apartment is a piece of paradise in Venice and you'd be lucky to stay there.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to dislike!

• Mark from Australia – 31 May 2024 (8/10)
