A quelques pas de la place Saint Marc. Impossible de se perdre. Immersion dans la ville. Gondoliers en bas des fenĂȘtres. Il ne faut pas y venir pour dormir... je reviendrai.
The location is what anyone dreams for a stay in Venice: absolutely central, ideal for visit all the city, but anyway quiet and peaceful: a quiet hidden corner just few steps away from Piaza San Marco. A dream is also the view from the windows: a small canal, costantly crossed by gondolas, quietly flows under them. This is the most important. The apart itself is nicely featured and well equipped, also comfortable for 4 adults (we were 2 adults and 2 teenagers). Its kitchen is perfectly equipped for self-catering (large electric oven + microwaves), large dining table. As we enjoyed the location so much and the kitchen was so good, we had the most part of our meals at home (watchingat gondolas go). When we arrived Matilde (really kind) met us at the waterbus station and while leading us to the apart (just 3 min walking) she showed us where to find a market, bakery, grocery, greengrocer and also small daily markets selling fresh products of the region. She also suggested us few restaurants in the nearby: we mostly used infos about stores and markets but we also had a dinner at the restaurant (to celebrate my daughterâs 15th birthday), Bistrot de Venise, warmly suggested. Finally, due to this perfect accomodation our 4th time in Venice (our sonâs first) was the most appreciated ever. All our family want to thank the Owner Andrea, always timely and accurate, quick and easy deal, all promises kept.

The location was great! Restaurants, shopping, the square - were all just a few steps away. (Heads up: Venetian mosquitoes are no joke - maybe donât leave the windows open all night ..lol) We enjoyed the early morning traffic noise in the morning. It was sight to see! We would stay here again.
I was very disappointed with the property. It was advertised as quiet. At 5:00 every morning we were disturbed by a barrage of delivery boats with diesel engines and loud workers who converged on the boat dock underneath one of the bedrooms. There were water taxis.delivery and garbage boats. additionally there was a construction project on the neighboring roof. Where is there was a gondola stand pictured in the promotional materials there no gondolas except for the loud delivery ones. It was impossible to turn the air conditioning on and it was warm. The mattresses felt like box springs and the pillows were no softer than 25 lb bags of flour. The check-in process was a nightmare.. We asked for the closest water stop to get to the property. Instead we were directed to an obscure square with no instructions as to how to get there. One half hour after the check-in time we were told that our contact was stuck in traffic and that he would be late. About a half hour later we were met by his wife who said that he was sick and could not make it. There was no elevator in this property and we had to carry our luggage up close to two flights upstairs. In essence, the apartment was noisy and run down and the host were unhelpful and rude. Unfortunately this listing was completely misrepresented in the promotional material! My recommendation is that you go elsewhere.
We really enjoyed our visit. Andrew is a great host and was there to personally guide us to the location. Views of the canal were beautiful and I was in a really nice location. Air conditioner made the visit very comfortable during a very hot week in Venice.
Abbiamo scelto questo appartamento per la sua posizione, solo due minuti a piedi da Piazza San Marco, per la magnifica vista canale, e anche per il suo stile. A noi piace infatti soggiornare in ambienti tipici del posto che visitiamo, e questo appartamento era proprio quello che cercavamo. Il pavimento in battuto veneziano, i soffitti con travi a vista, ed i lampadari in vetro di Murano, uniti alla stupenda vista canale, hanno reso il nostro soggiorno squisitamente Veneziano. L'appartamento Ăš poi silenzioso, pulito e in ordine, con tutto quello che serve. Letti comodi. Grazie ad Andrew che ci ha incontrato alla fermata del vaporetto e condotto all'appartamento, dandoci tanti buoni consigli. Abbiamo molto apprezzato il servizio.
Abbiamo soggiornato in questo appartamento dove precedentemente sono stati i miei genitori. Si sono trovati talmente bene che hanno deciso di regalarci questo soggiorno, e devo dire che avevano proprio ragione. L'appartamento Ăš in puro stile veneziano e con una vista canale magnifica. La posizione poi Ăš quanto di meglio si possa desiderare per visitare facilmente tutte le principali attrazioni della citta' senza perdere troppo tempo in spostamenti. Appartamento al top! !!veneziana.
First we were told we would need to wait 1.5 hours with our luggage until the host could meet us. I told him weâd be there before 6p. Later I said between 2-3p. He texted that since I said before 6 he made plans and was busy until 4:30p. Check in was listed as 2p so I found this upsetting. The bathroom was filthy. The host made excuses for that saying perhaps the cleaner used it. I sent him pictures of the toilet seat and a soiled doily. There was no dishwashing liquid Or paper towels. There were no filters for a coffee maker that requires them. There was an empty shampoo container in the bathroom and empty dishwashing liquid container in the bathroom. The TV was about 18â wide if that. The floor in the main bedroom was very dusty. The main bedroom also sported a mop and other cleaning implements out in the open.The online pictures are far nicer than the apartment. The hall in the building had a foul odor. It is very close to St Marks. That was great.
Appartamento in tipico stile Veneziano con magnifica vista su un canale, proprio quello che cercavamo. Abbiamo particolarmente apprezzato la posizione, centralissima ma tranquilla, lo stile dell'appartamento, con le sue lampade in vetro di Murano e il pavimento tipico, la vista canale, con il continuo passaggio di bellissime gondole, e il servizio offerto da Andrew, che ci ha incontrato alla fermata del vaporetto e ci ha condotto all'appartamento, descrivendoci nel frattempo i dintorni e dandoci tanti consigli su negozi tipici e ottimi ristoranti, un "plus" molto gradito. Consigliamo questo appartamento sotto tutti i punti di vista.
This apartment was exactly as listed. The view out the windows was incredible. We loved the activity on the canal, especially watching the gondolas go by. The communication from both the property owner and the manager was excellent. The management company sent a representative to meet our water taxi from the airport. Not only did she guide us to the apartment, she also gave us tons of tips for our stay with notes and directions. We frequented the little cafe next to the courtyard for our morning croissants and cappuccinos. The location one block from San Marco was perfect!
Great recommendations on food. Everything explained very well. So close to Piazza San Marco. Accommodating by providing a crib. We will try to stay at this place again when we return to venice!
Property was comfortable and easy access to top visitor sites. However more info needed left as to exact location and a map would have been great, even though getting lost was an adventure!. Did not have luck with heat, internet or TV, again instruction would be helpful.
We had a magical time in Venice. The place was spotless and Matilda was so helpful! She met us at the water bus stop to walk us to the apartment. She gave us a list of suggested restaurants and pointed out important locations on the map. All communication was prompt and the apartment was exactly as described.
We loved the entire experience from communication with Roberto to the sweet gal who met us at the vaparetto stop and walked us (quickly) to the lovely apartment. We spent hours looking out the windows at the gondolas passing in the canal beneath us. And we loved the surrounding neighborhood and itâs shops and restaurants. Then itâs so close to San Marco Square and we were able to hang out there frequently or leave from there to Burano. We want to return to Venice, and will stay here when we do!
Very clean and well situated. As advertised. 5 minute walk to St. Mark's square. Comfortable accommodation for 4 (although there were just the 2 of us) - a nice queen size bed in one bedroom and two singles in the other bedroom. Lots of storage space. Nice that it overlooks the gondolier route. Recommend.
Our family of three LOVED our four-day stay at this apartment. The apartment is located right in the middle of the most popular part of venice, which was very convenient. The canal view was magical. The sounds of church bells, lapping water, and singing gondoliers coming in through the windows was really special and added so much atmosphere to our time in the apartment. Our daughter loved the pull-out trundle bed and made the most of her upper and lower sleeping options. We were sad to leave. I highly recommend the apartment to anyone, especially families with children.
This is a great apartment near the piazza .
Pros -
The booking process, check in / check out and all communication was easy.
The beds were comfortable.
The place was cool, air conditioner worked great! and the best part - hearing/seeing the gondolas outside the window was a treat!
Cons -
There was a bit of noise from the canal, but that goes without saying. If you want a view of the canal you should expect some noise.
The wifi wasn't the best for us. Roberto tried to have it reset from the ISP but it didn't help. Maybe if we were there longer we would have done some trouble shooting, but we weren't there for the internet. Any social media posts were done elsewhere ;)
I would highly recommend this apartment!
This was a perfect apartment for our stay. It was central to everything. I highly recommend. The communication was excellent. Matilde picked us up from the water taxi with no waiting. Awesome experience. Thank you Roberto!!
If you are planning stay in Venice, this is the place to stay, the apartment very comfortable, it will meet all your expectations, canal view and you will see the gondolas passing by, gondoliers singing, beautiful!, very easy to get in touch with the them, Matilde is a Love, she will pick you up from Rialto stop and will give you all the information you need and Roberto is always in touch with you, the location is THE BEST!, walking distance to EVERYTHING: San Marco plaza, restaurants, all kind of stores, etc., but at the same time quiet to rest, nothing negative to say. RENT THIS APARTMENT
Unique canal view with gondolas passage (all day long), heart of Venice, just few steps behind Saint-Mark square, quiet hidden corner, perfect for easy sight seeing.
