The extras the host provides, for example, luggage delivery to the room and did not have to be present. This was a huge help! The location was excellent. A 3 minute walk to the Silvestri water bus stop. No keys to worry about. Two simple codes to access the property, therefore no worries of having to return keys and check out.

The view to the canal was nice and the apartment was very spacious. The location was great and easy to get to everything while still being private and quiet. Best part was no stairs. It was a good break after all the climbing we did with kids and luggage. Bonus was the restaurant right outside our courtyard. We made friends with the waiters and were very friendly.

This was a magnificent place to stay with our five kids aged 11-0. Because we were relatively close to the Rialto Bridge it was alway easy to find our way back from our adventures exploring the city. We gave the nearby piazza the pneumonic “Saint Apple Now” so that if anyone in our group got lost we could ask for directions. The two bedrooms and living room facing the canal was where we often ended up spending time relaxing with the big windows open so we could hear the gentle sounds of the city and look at the boats and the rooftops and swallows flying above. This apartment had LOTS of space. We weren’t cramped at all!

The apartment was even better than the pictures. It was clean, very spacious, and was in a great location.

Andrew

United States of America

The location was great, the view to the canal was wonderful. The outdoor space coming into the apartment was very secure and private. Inside was very spacious and the decor was beautiful! The bathroom had plenty of space and great water pressure. Everything you would need to make a wonderful Italian meal is available in the kitchen. Great space! Will definitely come again!

It was clean, spacious, comfortable and close to main attractions. Beds are comfortable, kitchen well equipped. Short walk to many restaurants and shops. Vaporetto right around the corner. I would stay again.

The location was very convenient. The space was large as advertised and clean (which is very important). We did appreciate it being a keyless entry.

The location was perfect and so was the fact we had real frescos on the ceilings and public transport nearby. Lovely food in area and near Rialto Bridge and various supermarkets. KItchen very well equipped. Totally original, totally Venice.

Heating didn’t work, room temperature is only 19 degrees; room does not look like what you see on the home page! It is categorized as pet friendly, but what was not clearly stated was that the apartment only allows dogs under 5 kilo.! We sent a message for asking permission for our 10 Kilo dog at the same time as we booked the apartment, and called the day after just to clarify whether our dog was considered „too big“, the lady, who I was talking to, hurried to charge my credit card in full while she refused to let we stay at the apartment with our dog!
Location is good!

The rooms did indeed sleep as many as expected, but the rooms were right next door to each other so you had to walk through one room to get to the other, and this limited privacy, There also was not really a sofa bed/third sleeping area, as it was in the middle of the kitchen.

It was cold inside and never warmed up. 5 beds but only found one quilt Future customers need to know that because of the layout of the property you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the second bedroom
The location was fantastic. Beautiful old building on a quiet waterway. Huge amount of space - it does sleep 10 and there were only 4 of us. Beautiful ceilings

“Disappointed!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
I don't normally like to give negative feedback but on this occasion, I think it's required. - 1 and half toilet roll for 4 people for 3 nights, not enough! - floor looked liked it was swept but not mopped as we could see dirt and stain marks. - the kettle was disgusting and dirty and looked like the filter was not cleaned. - being on the ground floor we could hear every footstep and noise coming from the above floor. This was not pleasant, especially at 2 am in the morning. - the hot water would run out after 1 person and had to wait quite a while for it to warm up again. - as it was cold at night, there weren't any blankets for all of us and only a few thin sheets on the bed. - bad smell coming into the room from the canal and could not open any doors or windows as the smell would get worse. - checking in and then trying to find the apartment took over 30 minutes as you do need to cross over several bridges with suitcases, finding the apartment was still challenging even with Google maps. This place is certainly not worth the money.
Close walk to the Rialto Bridge. Leaving this apartment!

Check-in is in a different location. There is no washing machine inside the apartment. It`s actually outside of the apartment in the same building. We were not advised on that, we accidently found it on the last day of our stay. There is no shelves in the bathroom so, when you have a shower you need to leave everything on the floor. There is iron, but there is no iron board.
Clean and spacious apartment in a good location. Little supermarket a few minutes walk from the apartment. Apartment accessible by code.

It was extra time having to collect keys on one side of town then taking the vaparetto to reach the apartment . I read reviews of other people complaining but really it wasn't bad at all. Instructions were easy and we didn't walk much with our luggage. Also we learned to use the vaparetto which we didn't do on our last visit. Also there was the smell from the canal. But this is Venice and expected. We were able to drink our wine each night on the patio
The view to the canal was nice and the apartment was very spacious. The location was great and easy to get to everything while still being private and quiet. Best part was no stairs. It was a good break after all the climbing we did with kids and luggage. Bonus was the restaurant right outside our courtyard. We made friends with the waiters and were very friendly.

Unfortunately we did not enjoy our stay. Bedding arrangements are very odd. We booked for 4 adults and were supposed to have a double bed, a single bed and a sofa bed. What we got is a double bed and single bed in one “room” and a set of sheets to cover the couch (a couch is NOT a sofa bed!). Apartment is not clean - towels were not washed well (if at all) as some had cosmetic stains on them; showers and basins weren’t clean; dishes still in dishwasher; socks, tissues and wine corks still on floor near bed; and make sure you keep your shoes on, as the floors are filthy. We stayed in a ground floor apartment and the noise from the larger family apartments upstairs was unbearable - kids running and jumping until 2am. All day, every day. There is no soundproofing from upstairs - it ruined our trip to Venice, as we’d travelled for 30 hours and could not get any sleep.
The location was good, easily accessed from vaporetto stop. Check in at separate location near Ple Roma was easy to find and staff provide very good directions to find apartment. Apartment was large and opened onto canal. Washing machine and clothes dryer available for use in laundry.
