Reviews

• Diana from United States – 16 October 2024 (9/10)

  This apartment is located a short distance from the Rialto bridge. Excellent for transportation, restaurants, stores, and the famous bridge. 2 water stops from the train station. Apartment was quiet, neat and clean. Hosts met us and made sure we got into the apartment and had everything we needed. Also gave referrals for restaurants. Very communicative. Gelato just steps from the door.
  
  What could be improved: There are some stairs that I didn’t realize but honestly they looked more intimidating than they were. I wouldn’t recommend for people with mobility issues.

• Ronald from Australia – 27 September 2023 (9/10)

  We had very good communication in the days leading up to our visit. We received texts on the day of arrival arranging to meet us and take us to the property and on arrival we were taken through the property.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Elena from Ukraine – 27 February 2023 (9/10)

  The meeting time and point was arrange well in advance, easy to find and the lady accompanied us to the apartment.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment was very clean, in a very nice place, quiet. The altana was just wonderful, you could enjoy the view of the roofs of Venice and feel the spirit of the city. I would definitely come back to the same apartment if again in Venice.

• Lucy from United Kingdom – 2 September 2022 (9/10)

  centrally located

• Donna from United Kingdom – 26 October 2024 (8/10)

  It was a good location with shops and restaurants nearby. It was a nice apartment with everything that was needed. The host met us in a nearby square and showed us around the apartment.
  
  What could be improved: We would not recommend this apartment for anyone who has any size of luggage due to the steep and narrow stairs. It would be ok for a small suitcase or backpack. It wasn't as clean as the other apartments we stayed in on this trip which was disappointing. The stairs leading up to the bedroom are open and directly above the kitchen worktop and cooker which isn't ideal. The stairs directly above the kitchen worktop and cooker have a sharp metal edging at head height which in our opinion is dangerous. They should have proper cushioned edging.

• Donna from United Kingdom – 29 May 2024 (8/10)

  Great location, good contact with host and Nicolas who met us and took us to the flat. Great view from roof top.
