  We stayed in this apartment for 3 nights. We loved the location (once we found it). This apartment has lots of charm but the real downside for us was the noise coming from the apartment below. Loud TV and talking which could be clearly heard until well past midnight was a not pleasant.

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Is been once upon a time event the neighbor rented the next door apt to a noise group.

  The streets of venice were a little tricky to navigate, but the apartment was not too difficult to find. Once up the stairs, we found a nice cosy attic and nicely decorated apartment, the low ceilings left me with a few bumps on my head, but was not too bad as long as I stayed in the center of the space (I am 5’ 11”). The kitchen space and bathroom both had plenty of headroom however. Since the bed was low to the ground there was enough head space on one side of the bed to avoid bumping my head every morning. The water pressure was very low, even after finding and turning on the switch marked “pump” it took several flushes of the toilet each time it was used. The toilet seat was cracked and taped together, not effecting use. There was no real shower, I ended up crouching in the tub, and washing up japanese style. The tub was big and deep however and would have made to a very good bath, had we a longer stay. The Ikea couch/futon in the main space was very beaten up and was not good to sit on, slats fellout and was constantly cracking, it looked like it had broken before, and was retaped. The owner Bruno was very helpful and always responded promptly to our inquiries. Pros: * Clean * Great internet connection. * Included a hairdryer, and towels. * good hot water. * Wonderful location Cons: * Low celings * Well worn mattress, with springs. * A/C not bedroom. * Downstairs neighbor played their TV loud. * Low water pressure. * Unusable (broken) couch/futon. * Lots of stairs

  We stayed at this apartment for 5 nights last year and we loved it. It's perfectly located, it's clean, beautiful and cozy. You do have to duck quite a lot because of the irregular ceiling, but if you're not too tall, it's the perfect place to stay in Venice.

  We stayed in this apartment for 2 nights in May and really enjoyed it. It's on the top floor, so be prepared for some stairs, and the wood beamed ceilings, although quaint, do involve a lot of ducking, so keep that in mind especially if you're tall. Other than that, however the place is great. The furnishings are new, and modern and the bathroom is beautiful. It's walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants, and the vapparetto stop, San Polo is not too far away.

  my husband and I enoyed our time in venice. The apartment was great! The trek to the top with luggage was challenging and the ceilings were low (not uncommon in roof top apartments) but the amenities, location and service was excellent! The decor is modern and comfortable. We will definitely contact Bruno again should we visit Venice. I think the private apartments have much more to offer than the hotels. We were able to go to the convenience store and stock up on antipasto and breakfast items. We meandered through the streets and found restaurants shops and bars easily. Right beneath the apartment are great boutique shops and it is is within easy walking distance to restaurants, bars & the vaperetto stop.

  My new husband and I stayed in this apartment during our trip through Europe for one night. The apartment itself was very clean and nicely appointed. The views were pretty good and it was fun to say we were in an attic apartment. Bruno was very helpful in the planning process. The location is exactly as advertised...far enough away from the really toursity areas, but still in the heart of things. We loved having a washer available. I would gladly come back again. That said, there were a couple things that kept this from being perfect. 1. It was hot while we were in town, so we tried the A/C. It works, but only for the surrounding area...not all the way to the bedroom. No worries, we opened the windows and went to bed. Or so we thought... being a Saturday night, people were out late and/or having parties in their own apartments. Lots of noise from them until the early morning hours. Also, there was an ugly noise we heard throughout the night... Turned out to be a mama seagull with a nest RIGHT outside one of the windows. I think we're lucky we got out without damage. :) 2. The bathroom is fantastic, but there isn't a true shower. There is a showerhead positioned at about 3.5 feet up the wall. You can remove it and hold it to stand, but you'll probably need to sit or kneel (or just take a bath) to get clean. 3. The person who met us at the apartment only spoke Spanish. She was very nice and patient with my high school Spanish, but I think it's worth noting...come prepared. Thank you Bruno for a great stay!

  We had a wonderful time in Venice recently which included our stay in this attic apartment. The views from the windows include rooftops, alleyways and churchbell towers. The apartment was quiet, clean, comfortable and seemed fairly recently renovated. Two issues - the ceiling is low in some areas and the water pressure for the bath was low - but they did not detract from the charm and location. Also, for the price this place was great. We felt like we were in the center of both residential living and top attractions. Rialto bridge was about 5-10 minutes walking distance. San Marco was 10 minutes further. Accademia, Ferrovia and Piazzalle Roma were about 15 minutes walking.

  We stayed there for more than a week. It was always easy, comfortable and casual. Everything was at place and well thought through. Especially I enjoyed the brightness and the views from the apartment, which is quiete rare in Venezia. We found everything as described and "molto ben tenuto". We would highly recommand this offer to other people and all our friends. Thanks Bruno!

  We had an excellent stay! The apartment is clean and very nicely styled. It is in a great location - really comfortable. There are only a few negative points I can think of at all. First, the apartment is on the top floor of the building, so there are a lot of stairs to get to the top. Besides carrying our luggage at the beginning and end of our stay, we really didn't mind, though. The walls are a bit thin, so the noise from the neighbors can be a little loud. But overall, our stay was wonderful and we would definitely stay here again! Thank you!!

  Excellent accommodation if you don't mind ducking your head under the eaves and crawling into the bed! Bright apartment with a nice view over the rooftops. Very good location near restaurants, shops, and a supermarket, and within walking distance of all main sights. Booking was very easy and the owner provided accurate details of the location.
