Reviews

• James from Australia – 11 November 2024 (10/10)

  Great communication, was always quick to respond with any questions. Perfect location, easy to get everywhere, used the line 1 vaporetta, when we initially arrived. Well equipped kitchen and very spacious. Heating was useful. TV easy to use too.

• Cecile from Switzerland – 24 March 2025 (10/10)

  Large space, very comfortable. Great location, very quiet but just a short walk from everywhere and just a few steps from the Vaporetto stops on the Grand Canal and to Murano. Nice restaurants around.
  Great host, easy communication.
  
  What could be improved: Not much to say. Maybe a coat hanger in the hall and a slightly bigger dining table (in the living room?) would be nice.

• Mark from United Kingdom – 22 March 2025 (10/10)

  Great, quiet location and loved the shutters which allows the bedrooms to be fully blacked out. Andrea was a fabulous host, very attentive and always on hand should you need. Great location, very convenient – would recommend the Alilaguna line straight from the airport as it drops you at FT Nove not 10mins from the apartment. Maybe not the quickest but a lovely way to begin your trip. Lovely, spacious apartment and a great base to explore the city.
  
  What could be improved: Only thing we would say are all the pillows are memory foam, not necessarily our favourite but still ok to sleep on.

• Corinne from Australia – 27 February 2025 (10/10)

  The host was very efficient and lovely to deal with. We were able to leave our suitcases at the property and explore Venice prior to checking in which was a bonus! The location is phenomenal and the hosts have put a lot of effort in to every detail to ensure the guests have a great time. We highly recommend 'The Glass House' to everyone. Thank you

• Nadiia from Slovenia – 29 January 2025 (9/10)

  A lovely apartment with a fresh renovation and all the essentials for a comfortable stay. The shower is excellent, and the towels and bed linens are of good quality. As a complimentary touch, there was a bottle of Prosecco and some cookies. It was also very convenient to have a basic set with coffee capsules, oil, and salt.
  
  What could be improved: On the downside, the apartment wasn’t warmed up when we arrived, even though the heating can be turned on remotely, which was a bit uncomfortable. For the bedroom with separate beds, it would be better to have a more comfortable bed instead of a folding one.

• Clare from South Africa – 2 January 2025 (10/10)

  Location convenient and close to Vaporetti stations or an easy walk to San Marco. Loads of bars, bakeries and restaurants close by. Very spacious and comfortable. Modern finishes and everything we needed. The host was so responsive and accommodating.

• Bronwyn from Australia – 24 December 2024 (10/10)

  The property was beautiful in a great location and the host was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend this property

• Munira from United Kingdom – 20 November 2024 (9/10)

  The location is very nice, near to tourist area and quiet but safe at night. Check in was a breeze since the door is opened via phone.

  What could be improved: – it is on the first floor. But the stairs were only a few steps. It was ok!
