Reviews

• Maria from Chile – 17 August 2024 (9/10)

  I liked everything, nice, illuminated, and it couldn't be cleaner, really impeccable. All the facilities were like new. I really loved it and would repeat it a thousand times.
  
  What could be improved: I liked everything, but it is important to know that it is on the second floor and there is no elevator, for people with less mobility or baby strollers.

• Derek from United States – 24 March 2025 (9/10)

  Great location and value. Beds were comfortable. Liked this as it has 2 bedroms where competing properties were going to put the third on a pull out sofa. Quick communication and repair to a broken light.
  
  What could be improved: Would be nice to have a few items like coffee but not a big deal. The trash situation was unique. I didnt full understand what I was supposed to do with it and since I had so little, I took it with me. The heater unit in the LR seemed to ignore the thermostat. We had set it to 21C and when we came back it was like a sauna. But easy to just turn it off.

• Jennifer from Australia – 18 January 2025 (9/10)

  Location excellent, spacious and well appointed kitchen and bathroom. Very quiet, beds both comfortable. Nicely decorated apartment- perfect really!
  
  What could be improved: Not a problem but people with limited mobility may find two floors with no lift difficult.

• Tracey from Australia – 19 November 2024 (9/10)

  Communication through the booking.com website was easy and response was quick. I asked many questions before arrival and all were answered in a timely manner. Room was very spacious and clean.

• Mary from United States – 9 November 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment was clean, well appointed, and comfortable. The location in Venice was great, close to the Rialto Bridge. Communication with the booking agency was very good.

• Amelia from Australia – 4 November 2024 (8/10)

  We loved our stay at the Railto Sant'Aponal apartment. The apartment is located a quieter part of the city however is a short walk to all the major attractions. The apartment overlooks a quaint square with two great eateries at your doorstep and even more options for great coffee, local pastries and bistro style food options in the adjoining laneways. The apartment is spacious and modern with excellent kitchen and bathroom facilities and a washing machine located in the apartment (which was great when travelling with kids). Windows are double glazed which is handy at night as the laneways around the apartment can be lively at night. Excellent communication with the host via WhatsApp.
  
  What could be improved: It would be nice to have some tea/coffee provisions on arrival and more cleaning products (especially if you are staying for a longer time as we were). I'm not sure there is much that can be done about the occasional smell in the bathroom too.

• Chichester from New Zealand – 1 October 2024 (8/10)

  Very roomy apartment with two bedrooms and separate lounge/kitchen area. Modern interior nicely decorated. Separate washing machine and clothes hanger. Air conditioning in every room. It is in a small piazza which means you have more light and sense of space albeit it can make it slightly noisier.
  
  What could be improved: There was a smell that permeated from the bathroom shower for the last few days. I was advised this can happen in the period of rain and low pressure (albeit there was only one day that had a few rain showers). Also there was no washing powder provided. All other places we stayed at provided this. It is hard when you are going around Italy to carry washing powder and we had to buy a box. Also one dishwasher tablet for a four day stay is not great.

• Norma from United States – 27 June 2024 (9/10)

  We loved the apartment. It was very clean, spacious, beautiful, everything worked like a charm & having the two separate rooms was ideal for us. The location was perfect! The staff kept in touch & that was nice.
  We loved Venice! 😊❤️

• Bruce from United States – 20 June 2024 (8/10)

  Great place! And it worked!
  Loved the space .
  Would like to see instructions in English for the washer and dryer.
  Few other items would have been helpful
  Salt pepper
  Few more large bath towels.
  Thanks would recommend

• Jane from United States – 12 June 2024 (9/10)

  We liked everything! It was located in a wonderful old square near the shopping district and the public water taxi. We got to know the restaurant in the square and felt included. The apartment is superb. It was very new, quiet, and clean–recently rehabbed. Nice bathroom. Very roomy. And all around excellent stay.
  
  What could be improved: Not really. But it is not for people with disabilities—two flights of stairs.
