Perfect location at the intersection of canals. Sebastiano is a great host - he gave us many suggestions and tips foe enjoying our visit. When we return sometime we would like to stay again with him.
The host, Sebastiano, met us at the apartment to welcome and familiarize us with both the apartment and the area giving us great advice on what to see and how to get there! Location is excellent. Very short walk from bus/train/taxi. Would definitely book again on subsequent trips!
This is a very nice spacious apartment with beautiful views of the canals. Close to bus, train station, many good restaurants, and stores. Sebastiano was an amazing host that communicated well and gave great recommendations on how to navigate Venice. Major plus was washer and drying rack, central air, and great views.
This apartment is wonderful - clean, spacious, comfy bed, and a great location with canal view. Sabastino, the host, is outstanding! He met us at the apartment for check-in, took a lot of time explaining details about the apartment and the area, and provided suggestions for restaurants, gondolas, and day trips. In our haste to leave the morning of checkout, I left behind the clothes that I had hanging in the closet. Sabastino contacted me and offered to personally deliver them to the hotel that we were returning to following a cruise to Greece. The package was waiting for me when I arrived at the hotel. Sabastino’s kindness is truly appreciated! Don’t hesitate to rent this apartment!
Our host met us to check us in. The location is close to the train station yet overlooks two canals. Very convenient with everything you need for a great stay. We highly recommend.
Apartamento Gafaro was the ideal spot for my final visit and my friends’introduction to many of the delights. She will certainly return.We loved the views to the canals from the 3 living room and kitchen windows, watching the constant pedestrian and water activities. Being so close to Piazzoli Roma made transport easy to wherever.
Sebastiano was an excellent host. He was prepared for my stay and ensured I knew areas to see, shop, eat and best ways to get to them. He made himself available in the event I had questions (in which I did).I would definitely stay there again when I visit Venice.The apt. Is as advertised and very clean stocked with needed items.
I had the most lovely stay here. Sebastino is absolutely wonderful. A true Venetian local. He showed me where he went to Elementary School down the canal! This apartment was perfect for my artist getaway. It was March and I had lots of rainy mornings but it was so perfect to sit in front of the window and sip my coffee and paint the canal and bridges and passersby. The bed was really comfortable and shower hot with good pressure. It was in a wonderful location by the train station and Vaparetto stops and has some great local eats close by. I love this sweet apartment with an amazing view and hope to be back when I visit Venice again.
Apartment was very neat and clean; Sebastiano was very nice, he met us at the apartment, explained everything and was always available via WhatsApp. He even accommodated early check-in as our train arrived early. All in all a very memorable stay for our family.
Everything was well organised. We didn't miss anything.

Loved this property! Spacious and very well appointed suited all of our needs. Lovely and quiet neighborhood while still accessible to all of the man attractions. Sebastiano is a wonderful host.
Host Sebastiano was friendly, informative, and available. We loved that the property is a short walk to the bus depot yet far enough away to be out of sight. There is a view of two canals complete with occasional gondolas passing by. Super clean, and well appointed for two people. As stated in the ad, it is up two flights of stairs, but we are in our 70's and had no trouble. Close to several restaurants and a short walk to the Conad grocery. Overall it was a great place to serve as the base for our extended stay in Venice. Highly recommended.
The apartment is in a great location close to the train/bus station and good restaurants, whilst still being quiet during the night. It has a fantastic view of the canals too. Sebastiano was a great host and incredibly helpful. We look forward to staying here again when we are next in Venice.
Venice was our first stop for our 3 weeks in Italy. After our perfect stay in gaffaro apartment we can only hope the rest of our trip is as wonderful! The accommodations, location and welcoming check in was the best way to start our journey. The neighborhood was quiet and walkable to any/all Venice highlights! We highly recommend Gaffaro apartment with Sebastiano.

About the host
Hosted by Sebastiano Zafalon
I'm a venetian that still leaves and works in Venice, with a wife and three kids.
Why they chose this property
Me and my wife lived in this apartment untill 2008, so we made it as we liked and everything has been recently renovated. It is in a central and residential area of Venice, Dorsoduro, where you can find all the shops for your needs, from the organic products to the baker, butcher, pharmacy, etc...
What makes this property unique
The view! from the three windows in the living room/kitchen you can enjoy the view of three canals passing by the apartment with all sorts of boats, private/gondolas with singer/working boats. You don't even need to go out, just by a bottle of cool Prosecco and enjoy Venice from you holiday home!
