Reviews
Alfred from United States – 17 November 2023 (9/10)
The photos and description were an accurate representation of the space. There was no mention, or at least that I remember, of it being on the ground floor. And the entry is directly into the Piazza. Both of which were fine, just unexpected.
What could be improved: There were issues with the thermostat. The first night it did not work correctly. After that, I was unable to adjust it at all.Lindsey from United Kingdom – 24 October 2024 (8/10)
Very clean. Comfy beds. Great position in Venice.
What could be improved: Needed extra blankets and plug sockets.Nailia from Israel – 4 January 2023 (9/10)

Location
What could be improved: It was a little confusing getting in touch to handover the keysNgoc from Germany – 26 June 2024 (9/10)
Sie war sehr zentral, man konnte alles gut zu Fuß erreichen. Die Wohnung war sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet. Sie war auch recht modern.
What could be improved: Es war ziemlich dunkel. Es gibt im Wohnzimmer keine Deckenbeleuchtung. Aber da man ja eigentlich nur zum Schlafen in der Wohnung ist, war es schon in Ordnung.Edina from Hungary – 1 April 2024 (9/10)
Központi elhelyezkedés, mégis nyugodt.
Lena from Austria – 16 June 2023 (9/10)
Die Lage des Apartments könnte nicht besser sein, mitten im Geschehen und trotzdem relativ ruhig! Das Apartment ist gut ausgestattet und hat wirklich sehr viel Charme! Man muss sich halt bewusst sein, dass man in keinem modernen Gebäude nächtigt sonder in einer alten Kirche, aber gerade deswegen wählten wir dieses Apartment ja aus 🙂

Sokadszor jártunk már Velencében. Elég jó helyen van. Érdekes a szállás kialakítása. Tetszett a hangulata. Minket nem zavart a fszt, s tél ellenére kint ülő idogálók.
What could be improved: Télen voltunk. Kérésre emeltek a hőfokon, de volt, hogy fáztunk. Alvásnál nem. Nincs helyi szabályozás. Az ajtó alatt tényleg jön a huzat. 🙁 Mi odatoltuk a szőnyeget.G from Netherlands – 7 September 2024 (9/10)
Appartement op begane grond. Centrale ligging in Venetië. Dichtbij het busstation. Voorzieningen zoals bakker en supermarkt in nabijheid. Inleveren afval aan de deur en dichtbij. Met andere woorden: wat beloofd werd, werd waar gemaakt.
What could be improved: Niets
