Quaint, but a few shortcomings

The eléctrical setup needs work - - the lighting in the bathroom doesn't work, so there is a standing lamp set up next to the toilet, but not on a switch. Also, one of the beds is missing slats under the mattress, making for a very uncomfortable night, but I believe the manager/owner will be fixing that. The location is adorable - - pretty far from the Grand Canal and all that jazz, but it's close to the Arsenale boat options and walkable to a grocery store and all the restaurants and cappuccino places you could want! We appreciated having enough chairs and seats for all 7 of us to sit around and visit.

Charming apt in quiet neighborhood

This apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood about a 10-minute walk from the Arsenale water bus station. it is in an old building with lots of character--which I loved. There are two bedrooms & in each bedroom there is a loft with additional pull-out bed. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. Both have showers with hot water but one of the showers does not have a curtain because it's meant to be more of a bathtub. It wasn't a problem. Our host, Simone , met us at the dock and walked us to the apartment and answered all questions. He was very fun and friendly. This was in an excellent location & we felt like we got the real Venetian experience. There is a little restaurant in front of the apartment building and just a few steps away there's a grocery store. Very convenient. The apartment came with breakfast toast and jelly, which was tasty.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The apartment has a lot of potential and the area is great. Unfortunately, the entire property was dirty and not well equipped, the furniture needed to be repaired, replaced or/and refreshed. Chairs were broken. After complaining about a bathroom without any light, nobody care to show up to solve the problem. Drawers in the kitchen/living area were full of stuff from the owners, closets were dirty and dusty, vintage living room armchairs were in bad conditions and no toiletry at all. We sent a text message and an email with pictures but we didn’t receive any reply. Management is very poor and absolutely disappointing.

Wonderful apartment in a beautiful part of Venice

Our short stay at this property was excellent - we had everything we need, the apartment was spacious, clean and with lovely character. The location is perfect - close to the Biennale but away from crowds. The host was easy to communicate and very welcoming. Our only wish was to have stayed longer!

Charming apartment in a convenient location off the beaten path

The apartment is a loft style, with high ceilings with wooden beams and big windows. Each bedroom has also a loft with a full size bed. Although the common room (dining/leaving/kitchen) is small, it is comfortable and elegant and very quiet. The apartment is close to the Giardini Biennale area and Via Garibaldi, conveniently located to visit all of Venice attractions. We found the place dusty at our arrival, but were told the renovations in the flat above were responsible for it. In any case Pietro and Gaia were very responsive and offered to have it cleaned again on the spot. There is a small grocery store behind the corner and a bakery, which is all very convenient.

An charming retreat

As a first time visitor to Venice, I really appreciated the location and lovely charm of the apartment. It’s far enough away from the hordes of tourists yet convenient to many shops and restaurants. The charm of the property is splendid and it was very easy for us to communicate and ask questions to our hosts who responded quickly and were very accommodating!

Great stay! Wonderful apartment!

We enjoyed staying at this place, the only thing we did not enjoy was that the check-in had to be at 4pm (which however we do understand) that we had to pay a tourism tax/ fee we didn't know of and did not even receive a receipt for it. That was a little uncomfortable/ weird. Everything else though was fine, we would stay here again!

Best In Venice!

If you get a chance to rent this place, take it! You are close enough to easily see all the hot spots, yet away from all the tourists. The air conditioning is priceless! This place could not have been in a more convenient location either. There is a grocery store 20 feet from the front door and a restaurant in the square a stones throw from your balcony. You MUST eat at the restaurant in the square. We sat down for dinner and left grandma upstairs because she wanted to relax. The waiter asked for our keys and delivered her pasta to our door. She loved it! The food was outstanding too! We had just a lovely trip in large part due to this amazing apartment!!!

Lovely Venice apartment in quiet area!

My husband, 3 grown daughters and I LOVED this apartment! It was our first trip to Venice and we didn’t know what to expect! It is off the main streets in a quiet, less crowded area which was perfect after a long day in the hustle & bustle. It has a “local” feel. Great wi-fi and A/C! We were there in late June and it was HOT so coming home to a beautiful, cool apartment was soooo nice! Yet still close and easy to walk to main attractions. St Mark’s was about a 10 minute walk. Also very close to vaporetto stations. Overlooks a cute little square and there is a trattoria right in the square for morning coffee, croissants, etc. Gaia was very easy to communicate with and helped me figure out the water taxi back to the airport as I had no experience! We highly recommend and would stay there again if we get back to Venice!!

Lovely retreat in Venice

Our family of five truly enjoyed our stay in this spacious apartment. There are two wings with bedrooms and bathrooms separated by an open living room, dining room, and kitchen area. Each bedroom also has a loft above it for more sleeping. The location is a quiet residential area off a lovely square. There is a tiny market around the corner and a business district with shops and restaurants a 5 minute walk away. We used water taxis to get to the train station and Rialto bridge but enjoyed the long walks to the Basilica of St. Marc and the other sites. It was nice to come home to a quiet neighborhood in the evening.

Balcony with a view

Bright room with high ceilings on the piano nobile of a former (minor) Ca` or Palazzo on lively Campo Ruga in Castello. Two large Kingsize beds with additional Gallery beds allow 6 to 8 persons but 4 is optimum, respectively 2 families with young Kids. Bathrooms (2) small but sufficient, kitchen (gas) a bit poorly equipped if You plan to do real cooking invitations with Your friends (e.g. no wine glasses) > there is one of the last remaining vegetable boats, a good fishmonger, bakeries, bottegas and a very good butcher just round the corner at Via Garibaldi, Supermarket on the campo Ruga. Good Restaurants in about 15 minutes Walking distance I can recommend: Vini al Covo or Pensione Wildner. Try also the "workers osteria" Alla Rampa (only lunch starting 11 AM) next to the fishmonger on Via Garibaldi. You can celebrate breakfast on the balcony! Gaia Vitolo is a very kind and helpful host, Simone and Nicoletta will help You in town. No place for parties and loud events, privacy of local neighbors has to be respected. Great location to visit the Biennale, as Giardini and Arsenale are both 8 minutes by feet. Very close to the next vaporetto Station San Pietro in Castello (5 Minutes walk, lines 5.1 or 4.2)
