Reviews

• Bennett from Canada – 19 January 2025 (9/10)

  Location was perfect for winter low season. For us, it would be too busy during the summer.
  
  What could be improved: Some kitchen supplies were limited – only 2 forks and one wine glass. other supplies were adequate.

• Grace from United Kingdom – 15 June 2024 (8/10)

  Great location!
  
  What could be improved: Some issues getting hot water in the shower

• Karen from United Kingdom – 3 June 2024 (9/10)

  The location was fabulous, a couple of minutes away from St Marks Square, really close to the water bus docks, we took the Alilaguna from the airport to San Marco and it was a very short walk to the apartment. Great atmosphere in the street outside, right in the centre of shops and restaurants, but not too noisy, loved it. The apartment was really well equipped and very comfortable for a short stay. Comfortable bed. Felt very at home there.
  Excellent checking in process, very helpful, lovely host. It’s very close, about a minute away, from a luggage storage facility too which was ideal for us as we arrived on an early flight.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment is right at the top of the building with lots of very steep stairs. My daughter and I are both fit and active so it was just about ok but wouldn’t suit everyone. The shower was virtually unusable, either scalding or freezing, a boiler issue I think. Tried everything but nothing worked, if we were doing something wrong then instructions would have been useful.
  The rubbish bin system was also a bit stressful, refuse collectors were supposed to buzz the door each morning, this did not seem to happen the 3 days we were there. We had to find local bins to put our rubbish in, luckily we didn’t make much, but for the price and the included cleaning charge, it would be nice to not worry about the bins.

• Angela from Canada – 29 May 2024 (9/10)

  The flat had everything we needed and was thoughtfully appointed. The location is excellent – very close to the main attractions. You can walk from the train station (if you can manage your luggage). And yet, at night with the window shutters closed it is very quiet and private. Plus we discovered a sliding door that closes off the kitchen so we couldn’t even hear the fridge.
  
  What could be improved: Getting a handle on the hot water for the shower was tricky. We had to run the kitchen AND bathroom tap plus the shower to create enough demand for hot water in the shower. Not a dealbreaker, just tricky.

• Thomas from United States – 20 May 2024 (8/10)

  Great location.
  
  What could be improved: The lights in the common stairway were out during the entire stay, which does not help especially if the apartment is on the top floor. This could have caused accidents. Some lights over the bathroom vanity were out as well.

• Tetiana from Ukraine – 16 October 2024 (7/10)

  Venice is much smaller in real life, so when we arrived, it appeared we were a 3-minute walk from San Marco Square. The house is surrounded by canals, and you will get a real old-style Venice experience. There is a well-equipped kitchen and a mini market nearby with everything needed. The owner had a great check-in system with an exceptional team waiting for you and explaining everything; this was very sweet.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment looked bigger in the photo, so if you like a spacious place, this option is not for you. The stairs are very steep and in the form of a spiral, so sometimes I get dizzy when walking down. But then again, the full Venice experience.

• Kayahan-curtis from Australia – 6 October 2024 (7/10)

  The location of the apartment is amazing, it is located 4 minutes walk from the San Marco Pier drop off. The property is very spacious, with a big kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The hosts let us check in early.
  
  What could be improved: The property specifies in the extra details at the bottom of the page about the flights and stairs which we didn't see. It was difficult to move all the bags to the top level of the apartment (we are a young couple). We are also waiting for our 150 Euro deposit to be refunded. The rubbish is required for the person staying to take out and find a designated rubbish bin.

• Ngoc from Australia – 30 August 2024 (8/10)

  Great location
  Spacious
  Good amenities
  Great food recommendations from the host
  
  What could be improved: No lift so it was difficult to get luggage up and down the stairs
  Hot water heater didn’t work properly so the shower wasn’t pleasant

• Fabrice from Denmark – 4 January 2024 (9/10)

  Great location ! Very nice and clean appartment.
  
  What could be improved: During shower, the water was changing from hot to cold often and we needed to re adujust the temperature many times.
  We were there in winter and it was a bit cold in the kitchen and we could not change the temperature in the house.
