Amazing place to stay in Venice.
Host was very friendly and helpfulJohn from United Kingdom – 4 August 2023 (9/10)
This is a comfortable apartment ideal for a couple with two children who are willing to share a room. It has two bathrooms and everything you need including washing machine and choice of coffee-makers! The location is superb, five minutes or so from the Accademia, the Peggy Guggenheim and the end of the Dorsoduro. There is an excellent little supermarket round the corner. Very close to several useful vaporetto stops.
