apartment/ flat - Venezia

A great time was had. Rialto bridge a block away. Gondoliers outside our window. Barbara, a friend of Paola's showed us the apartment. She was very nice We really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Paola.

Safe and spacious apartment. Great for a short trip, located right at the centre of Venice. The apartment was quite dusty and I think it could do with a deep clean.

The apartment was Great. But the owner tried trick me into paying an extra 70 dollars.

Paola messaged me in advance with a phone number of Orsola who met us and lead us to an appartment. Location is excellent, so many great places(historic landmarks, restaurants, promenade) are within a short walking distance, canal view from the window is very interesting with gondolas and taxis passing by. Washing machine is a big plus. Kitchen has mostly everything needed. I would add utility tongs,a nutcracker, slotted spoon, maybe a spoon rest(but you can use a plate). Unfortunately, on the last night, my daughter was bitten by a mosquito multiple times because we kept windows open for fresh air. I was not instructed on trash disposal. One morning, I spotted a garbage boat outside, opened a window and they told me to aim my bag to the garbage receiver. We ended up without wifi that was very important to us. It added a stress to out trip. You need an internet for modern kids and things like airport check in at least. I ended up spending EUR 25 at a nearby store buying data simcard. Beds are futons, comfy enough. I would replace pillows, a couple of the were clumpy. There were only two of us so we managed but if you have a larger group, someone will end up with a neck problem in the morning. I would definitely, come back and book the same appartment and recommend it highly with its price and location. I wish that taxi would arrive directly at the door, the option is available but taxi drivers refuse to go to a local canal. Be ready for many steps on your way.

Much bigger than expected and the host was extremely helpful with any issues

You cannot beat the location, just start exploring before 930am otherwise the tourists will make movement hard. Nearby grocery stores and Drogeries (wine and gourmet shops) meant eating in was inexpensive and a delight.

This apartment met all our requirements. Two of us stayed there for two weeks and found it very comfortable. There was a very nice bathroom, and the kitchen was very adequate. The location is near the canal, bridge, and vaporetto stops. It was a short walk to San Marco and other places we wanted to visit.It was easy to work with the owner on several reservation changes. Our stay was a good value for the price we paid! We highly recommend this property.

We had very comfortable stay in the flat, the location is unbeatable, wifi strong and reliable. It has 2 heaters and we were very warm. The unit has everything we needed and more. The communication with the host was great and we could check in earlier, much appreciated.

The apartment was great value for money in an amazing location by the Rialto bridge which meant I didn't get lost too much! It was thrilling being right beside the canal and hearing and seeing all the comings and goings. The apartment was clean and had everything I needed. Luckily the owner sent a friend to meet me from the vaporetto stop to help find it for the first time. Highly recommended!

We loved our stay at Paola's apartment! The location can't be beat--3 minute walk to the Rialto Bridge where you can catch a vaparetto to go (almost) anywhere! The bed was comfortable, the air conditioner worked great (had to replace batteries for the remote during our stay, but batteries were in a drawer), plenty of linens--albeit slightly older than what one might expect in a hotel, but in good condition, communication with Paola was excellent on every occasion when I reached out, and the size of the apartment felt more spacious than what we were expecting from the pictures. The only downsides: 1) We decided to stay in and cook dinner one night and the only 2 knives were rather dull and difficult to slice vegetables and bread; 2) There was no lid for the large pasta pot (just an FYI) ; 3) The small refrigerator was adequate for our stay but the freezer could use a defrosting so that ice can be made and 4) We couldn't get the TV to turn on (it might have been something we weren't doing right...not sure) but hey, who comes to Venice to watch TV anyway, right?!? Overall, though, we gave our review 5 stars because we had a GREAT experience in our first (but hopefully not our last) visit to Venice. As mentioned in other reviews, the apartment's location on a small canal is incredible...felt as if we could've reached down and snatched the hat off the head of a passing gondolier! Thank you, Paola, for everything! I would absolutely stay here again!!!

It is situated close to all the sites, but if the water bus isn’t running it’s a 29 min walk from the train station. The apartment is spacious and has all the necessities, but gives the vibe of a boys college apartment. Is right off a canal, which is fun, but the canal is busy.
