Reviews

• Ching-fu from Taiwan – 5 May 2024 (10/10)

  Good location, friendly service, clean and big room
  
  What could be improved: The room is in 4th floor without elevator! But it’s not a very big problem!

• Chris from United Kingdom – 22 October 2024 (10/10)

  Fantastic views in several directions. The apartment is large, clean and well equipped. Hosts were really kind and helpful. There are 88 steps but a number of landings to rest if needed but if you’re fairly active then it’s fine (good exercise!)
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Dorota from Poland – 18 October 2024 (10/10)

  It was so ideally located! A few steps off San Marco Piazza! Quick and easy access to everything in Venice. The owner was friendly and knowledgeable! I completely recommend this place!

• Karen from United Kingdom – 24 May 2023 (9/10)

  The location was amazing and quiet considering it's only (approx) a 5mins walk to the Piazza San Marco (St Mark's Square). The apartment was comfortable and spotless in all areas with a superb view of St Mark's Bell Tower.
  Frederico, Leonardo and Darios were very helpful throughout our stay with any requests especially suggestions for restaurants. When we checked in they thoughtfully presented a bottle of prosecco to my husband for his 60th birthday!
  We even got used to the many steps you have to take to reach this lovely 4th floor apartment! (Take their advice when you confirm your booking with them and don't pack heavy cases!)
  Superb stay, we would happily recommend House 5286

• Wendy from United Kingdom – 19 October 2022 (9/10)

  Location, cleanliness and size.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing we didn't like, but, as a self catering apartment a toaster would have been to have as there was no oven or grill.

• Sophia from United States – 3 July 2022 (10/10)

  Everything!
  
  What could be improved: N/A

  La ubicación y la limpieza

• Stefy from Italy – 2 May 2023 (10/10)

  La vista sulla città e sul campanile di San Marco è spettacolare. È un bel colpo d’occhio.
  La pulizia impeccabile. Siamo stati accolti con professionalità, gentilezza e cortesia. Ci siamo sentiti a casa.
  La vicinanza a tantissimi luoghi di interesse.
  
  What could be improved: L’appartamento è un quarto piano senza ascensore.
  La vista ripaga della fatica, ma non è adatto ad anziani e a chi ha problemi alle gambe.
