Central location is fantastic. Owner was very helpful.
Antanas from Lithuania – 22 September 2024 (9/10)
Quite authentic furniture and a lovely feel of Venice. Really good value for the price. Facilities good. The owner is a guide so if she is available recommend ordering a tour in town. Also for breakfast we went to the fish market to get fresh fish. It's closer than it looks. And recommend a bakery one block away. Great place all round.

What could be improved: The new air conditioning units were very noisy.Ekaterina from Georgia – 23 May 2024 (9/10)
Great location ❤️ attentive host❤️
Lauren from United Kingdom – 23 August 2023 (9/10)
Spacious bedrooms and living area, location was excellent, only a stone’s throw from the Rialto Bridge and close to shops, pasticceria, supermarket, etc. Our host Francesco was incredibly helpful with arranging restaurant bookings, taxi’s, info on the area, and we had a great night out with him and his gondolier friends too!
What could be improved: Kitchen is a little under equipped for the number of people the apartment sleeps, likewise with seating in the living area. A lot of stairs to get up so tricking moving luggage.Kevin from United Kingdom – 18 August 2023 (9/10)
