Reviews

• Marly from Australia – 24 August 2023 (7/10)

  Was clean and had everything we needed.

• Diana from Germany – 28 November 2024 (8/10)

  The directions for arrival – and the personal attention that the host offered.
  
  What could be improved: I'd prefer a personal massage and a view – but that seems out of the offer.

• Alvaro from Colombia – 25 October 2024 (8/10)

  Location is great, 5 min to vaporetto stop and walking distance to many shops, restaurants and attractions, apartment is comfy with everything you need, host always replied super fast and kind.
  
  What could be improved: Steep stairs to get to the apartment (our was in 3rd floor), not nice with bags and tired after a long trip.

• C from United Kingdom – 26 November 2023 (7/10)

  Central location. Clean.
  
  What could be improved: Heating did not appear to work.

• Cesar from Slovenia – 18 October 2023 (8/10)

  Pretty apartment in venice, well located and nice host

• Pedro from Netherlands – 26 May 2022 (7/10)

  Nice and quite neighborhood but still close to main squares and lots of bars and restaurants. Also very close to Fondamente Nove, should you wish to visit Murano or go to the airport by boat.
  
  What could be improved: A minor thing: although all the necessary information was give to you in advance on a pdf, there is no name in the building entrance indicating Pallazzo Rialto, only the door number. Again, a minor detail.

• Mathieu from France – 26 April 2022 (7/10)

  quiet place, enough place for a couple, old authentic flat.
  
  What could be improved: it was a bit cold and we couldn’t put the heater on by our own(as well, we did not contact the manager and I m sure they could help us)

• Sl_wladimir from Kazakhstan – 9 March 2025 (6/10)

  Unfortunately, my experience with this apartment was not great. While there were some positives—like clean bedding, a generally tidy space, a convenient location close to attractions, and good communication with the host—the negatives far outweighed them.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment is quite cramped for three people. It might be okay for a couple, but any more than that feels too tight. The bathroom was a real letdown: outdated, uncomfortably small shower, broken toilet flush, and a door that wouldn’t close properly. The heating system didn’t work well, with radiators ignoring the thermostat settings. On top of that, the gas water heater was unstable, and getting a hot shower required too much fiddling.
  
  I paid €310 for two nights, and honestly, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

• Julia from United Kingdom – 26 March 2024 (7/10)

  Great location, well equipped kitchen

• Lidya from Germany – 5 December 2023 (8/10)

  all the rooms and equipment as well as the location are very strategic and easy to explore places to eat and travel
