  Roomy, the terrace on top was perfect for morning coffee and evening wine.
  Elisabetta met us at the Vaporetto and walked us to our apartment. She is so lovely and gracious and perfected the beginning of our stay.

• Hale from United States – 29 October 2024 (10/10)

  Apartment was beautifully furnished, warm, close to vaporetto and piazza San Marco. Truly a Venetian apartment fully furnished. Lovely, quite nice view.
  
  What could be improved: Quite a good find. Maybe a little caro,

• Jennifer from Ireland – 26 July 2024 (10/10)

  Hosts Elisabetta and Sylvia were so lovely, and extremely helpful. There's a shop only a minutes walk away, so we had breakfast on our terrace every day, highly recommend it! It's a bustling area, but really central.
  
  What could be improved: The shower is a bit hard to control, but outside of that it was a great place!

• Nicolae from Romania – 14 July 2024 (9/10)

  Perfectly placed – 1 minute away from a coop (supermarket).
  For a small family (2 adults and 1 child) it was the ideal place to explore Venice. The kitchen and the possibility of doing laundry were excelent – and with a weekly pass for Vaporetto we explored Venice, the Bienale, Murano&Burano and had time for beach-days in Lido.
  Would come again any-time here 🙂

• Gerry from United Kingdom – 2 January 2024 (9/10)

  Perfect location and very cosy. Everything you need for a lovely stay. Well equipped kitchen. Quiet location but not far from busy streets with bars and restaurants.
  
  What could be improved: There are a quite a few stairs up to the apartment which can be tough for older people and with luggage

• Oleksii from Ukraine – 12 July 2023 (10/10)

  Perfect location 3 min from Realto, 2 min from vaporetto, 1 min from the supermarket. Very nice rooms, our 12 y.o. daughter said the furniture was like in a palace)) Flat is equipped with all needed electronic devices plus lots of plates, glasses, pans, casseroles. Lots of towels and extra pillows. We appreciated such details like salt, pepper, oil, vinegar which were also available. The customer service is at a high level! Very nice signora welcomed us and she was very cooperative and generous when we made a huge mistake with the keys. Thank you so much!
