• Iwona from Ireland – 9 July 2023 (9/10)

  Clean comfortable apartment fully equipped. Comfortable bed and sofa.A quiet place at night and in the morning. The apartment is a 30-minute walk from St. Luci train station.Venice is the pearl of Italian cities.A gondola ride provides a lot of impressions from local carriers operating these water vehicles. You can learn interesting historical information about Venice.Thank you, Anita, for the warm welcome in the apartment for all the information she gives to us about how to get around Venice and what worth is seeing. The city is beautifully full of small shops, cafes, restaurants, craft shops, antiques, and bakeries. Beautiful museums, basilicas, churches, squares, delicious and not expensive food. To avoid standing in queues, it's best to get up early in the morning. Please remember. If you want to be allowed into a place how basilicas or churches, take care of appropriate clothing covering the shoulders and shorts to a minimum of the knees.

  What could be improved: It was a funny situation. I don't know if I should write it. We probably remember it for the rest of our lives. Please watch out for the mean seagulls. One of them dived in flight and in a second ate my son's entire ice cream and half a waffle😆😆😆.

  The host was great, very communicative and very quick to respond to our questions.
  The apartment is in an excelled location, not far from San Marco square and the vaporetto stop.
  
  There are some great restaurants close by as well.
  
  If you are in Venice, make sure you do the Secret Itineraries tour of Doges Palace. we really enjoyed the look into the other side of the palace and its history. .

  Very good location, really in the city center, with easy access to everything. The apartment is nice, clean, welcoming, you find in almost everything you need, Anita is always willing to help and I highly recommend this location for those who want to get a taste of Venice life. Thank you, Anita!
  
  What could be improved: Minor things. The space around the opened couch is a little bit narrow but that's Venice. And the couch is really big and comfortable.
  Maybe a coffee machine would be great, but you can drink the excellent italian coffee just around the corner and all over the place so no big deal.

• Sarah from United Kingdom – 8 April 2023 (9/10)

  Exceptional property for up to 4 people! The central location was a huge benefit – 3 or 4 minutes walk to Piazzo San Marco and 8 minutes to Rialto – and meant we were surrounded by restaurant options. The flat itself was delightful – well equipped and furnishings of an high standard , and wonderfully clean. (One thing to note – the apartment is on the first floor and accessed by a fairly steep staircase). We will certainly return, many thanks to our lovely host.
