Reviews

  • Nazire from Turkey – 8 February 2025 (9/10)

    The apartment we stayed in was very clean. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

    What could be improved: We had a small problem with the heating, but the owner helped us immediately, even though it was early in the morning. We solved the problem together and didnt have any other issues during the stay.

  • Charan from Spain – 12 March 2025 (9/10)

    All good

    What could be improved: Needs new towels, the ones smell bad

  • Iqra from Sweden – 19 February 2025 (9/10)

    The room was really nice and clean. It included all amenities as well. The host was also very nice and kind. The only suggestion would be to include 2more pillows.

  • Bogdan from Romania – 21 November 2024 (9/10)

    Just like in the pics. Great value for money if you want to visit Biennale

  • Anca from United Kingdom – 12 October 2024 (9/10)

    the place was immaculate, very conveniently situated and the host was so hospitable and helpful. 100% recommend

    What could be improved: a few mosquitos, but thats what you will expect in venice! have a spray prepared

  • Julian from United Kingdom – 30 September 2024 (9/10)

    Recently renovated, the bedroom is very comfortable and the bathroom well-equipped. Very quiet location, but easy to access. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. A kettle and kitchen utensils mean you can prepare drinks and simple food, and there is a supermarket immediately opposite. It’s all very convenient.

  • Bruce from Australia – 6 September 2024 (8/10)

    Great out of the way location to be close to most things. Great bed. Super clean. Very quiet. Water taxi very close by. Supermarket across the lane.

    What could be improved: No view from the windows. No balcony. Found it hard to find the correct rainbow apartment. It’s a mix of super new design for the unit in very old Venice building.

  • Andres from United States – 19 October 2024 (8/10)

    Great location in Giardini, only a few minutes walk if going to the Biennale at Giardini and not that far to Arsenale either, and also a few minutes to walk to restaurants on Via Garibaldi.
    Host communicated on Whatsapp and met me at arrival, explained details about the room, keys, etc. I paid the host directly and not through Booking.Com. Room was comfortable and modern. Boat to airport leaves from Arsenale, a walking distance from the room.

    What could be improved: Main lights in the room are fluorescent and really bright. I am getting used to accommodations in Italy looking grim from the outside of the building to then being nice and modern inside. Be aware though that it may take a while to get to the train station to Giardini by boat. And Venice is an expensive tourist trap.

  • Danila from Brazil – 1 April 2025 (8/10)

    Acomodação bonita e nova!

  • Aurora from Italy – 28 March 2025 (9/10)

    Il ragazzo che ci ha accolte è stato carinissimo e molto gentile. La stanza era impeccabile, anche se dalle foto ci aspettavamo la cucina funzionante invece ci è stato spiegato che non puó essere usata. Se si vuole risparmiare sui mezzi di trasporto (vaporetto) che costano davvero molto, consiglio di armarsi di buona volontà e scarpe comode perchè per arrivare in piazza san marco ci vuole all’incirca mezz’ora a piedi. Rapporto qualità/prezzo ottimo, struttura super consigliata se si vuole visitare Venezia senza spendere un occhio della testa.
