Reviews

  • Kate from United States – 13 September 2024 (8/10)

    Very easy and flexible check-in. The owner messaged me with clear instructions and also made himself available if we needed anything. He has a whole binder by the door with convenient information about Venice like which buses to take to the airport, waterbus information, etc. Easy to book, too. I liked that it was a whole apartment too. My husband and I made breakfast every morning with simple groceries to save a little money. Very convenient walking distance to restaurants and Waterbus stations. Lots of unique charm to the place with hard word floors and unique furniture. Lots of places to sleep.

    What could be improved: I think there's a bit of a moisture control problem with the whole place. Not any reliable ventilation system except for the windows. Lots of mold in the bathroom on the shower curtain and the tile granite. It rained a lot during our stay, and with the windows open when it wasn't raining, we got misquotes that came in, and unfortunately, ruined our sleep. Woke up with bites on my face. 😬 Maybe misquotes are common knowledge as something to look out for with locals, but as someone who's never been to Venice in a moist apartment, it was not very pleasant. The whole place needs a deep clean, and at least 3 dehumidifiers running to make it comfortable. There was a layer of moisture grime on a lot of the surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom..

  • Mateusz from Poland – 28 July 2022 (9/10)

    What could be improved: – there is no air conditioner, there are fans which really help but sometimes not enough during hot nights

  • Danah from Australia – 29 August 2024 (8/10)

    The security was good the locals were friendly. It was a nice area and quiet. It felt old world which was lovely

    What could be improved: It would be better with air conditioning
    The dining chair covers were stained

  • Simon from Germany – 12 November 2022 (8/10)

    Quite old interior, but everything works just fine. Spacious, ckean flat. A calmer area.

    Special note:
    The warm water was extremely irregular, or didn't it work, during our stay. Our host tried to have it fixed, but as our stay was over the weekend, he couldn't get hold of someone before we left.. As a compensation, we got a partial reimbursement of the fee. Makes for a fair and honest impression of our host.

  • Alena from Belarus – 17 September 2022 (9/10)

    The biggest advantage is the location, which makes it possible to feel the spirit of Venice, staying away from the tourist-filled streets.
    Relatively close (7-8 minutes walk) supermarket Conad, the best in terms of assortment, of all that we came across in Venice!
    There were some difficulties with the equipment (dishwasher machine), but thanks to the great host, who readily answered all the questions, our holiday experience was absolutely wonderful!
    Price-quality ratio is perfect!

    What could be improved: Quite a lot of mosquitoes during our stay)

  • Fredr59 from France – 21 August 2022 (9/10)

    Magnifique appartement dans le style Vénitien, très propre et au calme, assez grand pour une famille de 2 adultes et 3 enfants. Nous avons également été conquis par la gentillesse du propriétaire, très attentionné et très réactif. Honnêtement c'est une de mes meilleures réservations sur le site. Juste génial !

    What could be improved: Honnêtement rien, tout était parfait

  • Joachim from Germany – 12 December 2024 (9/10)

    Sehr schönes, authentisches Domizil mit einigen Restaurants/Bistros direkt vor der Haustür. Zwei große Schlafzimmer, geräumiger Wohn-/Essbereich. Kleines aber völlig ausreichendes Bad. Der Vermieter ist per email oder whatsapp immer erreichbar. Nach Scannen des Codes am Gerät funktioniert wlan top. Je zwei Schlüssel vorhanden. Bei Anreise unbedingt „La Galea“ bei google maps eingeben, die präzise Adresse führt ins Nirvana.

    What could be improved: Der Duschvorhang sollte unbedingt entsorgt/gewechselt werden!!! Neues/zusätzliches Besteck für die Küche wäre wünschenswert.
