Lovely little flat in the very heart of Venice.

Great place in a wonderful area in Venice. I loved sitting on the windowsill and watching the gondolas go by. We miss it already. The host and local assistant were helpful and communicative. Thanks so much for an unforgettable time in a fantasy location.

The location is excellent, easy to get to without bridges. All the facilities are on hand inside. Getting in was simple with Tommy meeting us outside. The only minor quibble was that the beds were not made up, but that maybe down to communication problems beforehand.

I absolutely loved staying here for 27 days! I loved it so much that I’ve reserved Eight it again for next year. The location is perfect. The unit itself is perfect. I enjoyed watching the gondolas. Everything is super close and great! This was a dream apartment for me. The host is awful. Wonderful – response very quickly to any questions or concerns.

Wonderful stay! Got a little lost on the way there - a Google maps link instead of a hand drawn map would be helpful for future guests but my contact person was wonderful and understanding and the place is so charming! A great central location with easy access to all the main touristy sights and close to grocery, pharmacy and Vaporretto stops. You can literally open the window and watch gondolas go by! Highly recommended!!

I enjoyed my stay here. The apartment is very well located, just a minute or two's walk to the Rialto Bridge and about a five minute walk to Piazza San Marco.Shopping is also nearby, with a Coop supermarket a few minutes walk away, as well as a Despar supermarket located a few minutes away on the Grand Canal.The large room has a fairly good kitchen and the living room, including a sofa bed, a small television set, a small stereo system with some CDs, plus a heating/air conditioning unit. A friend of mine stayed with me for a few days and she said that the sofa bed was comfortable to sleep on.Another good thing about the apartment, which is on the first floor (Europe)/second floor (US), are the two windows directly overlooking a small canal, with great views over the gondolas that pass by regularly (as well as motorboats).The smaller room is the bedroom, which has a space heater that can be turned on and placed near the bed. There were enough blankets to keep me warm on chilly nights.There are a few caveats that I should mention. One is that the walls must be thin, as I could clearly hear the people in the apartment next door in the bedroom (first an Italian family with kids, followed by a group of French speaking people.)Another is that there is no microwave oven in kitchen.Finally, the shower is a bit tight, and the wooden beams in it were just a couple of inches above the top of my head (I am 5'11), so people who are big or tall should take note.

Very central location with easy access via public transportation. Restaurants, stores, and the major sights are within a few steps from the door. The place was old but fitted with everything needed to stay a few days.

They had issues with door keys, they put us up at local hotel for the night. Which was a big inconvenience. Otherwise the location was excellent.

A roomy comfortable apartment steps from the busy tourist area, but remarkably quiet.

A charming flat close to a canal

Many bad things happened that made me realize that if something goes wrong there is no one to help you. Twice the power went out for a couple hours. Those were nerve wracking. By a miracle, I found the fuses, different for each outtage. Then the key broke in the door and, luckily I had tweezers and one of us was inside. Otherwise, we would have been stuck outside without anything but our purses. No one to respond. And, when we lost power, there was no WIFI to communicate our problem. I also cut my hand badly opening a trundle bed. Luckily, I had bandages. Caveat Emptor. Stay at your own risk. Also, there was hardly any toilet paper, no garbage bags, and no oil, but 3 types of vinegar. There was salt, pepper, sugar, rice, a little pasta, vinegar, but that was pretty much it. I left a bunch of stuff. Hopefully, they left it for the next people. REMEMBER: Put a light on, the tv, boil water and use the toaster and the power WILL go out.

Listing is unclear. The hallway has a small, hard single bed and the sitting/kitchen room has a single bed under the sofa. Neither were made up on our arrival and we had to find pillows and sheets, duvets, duvet covers etc. The hallway bedroom has no air con., there is no soap provided in the bathroom, there are no bath towels (just old, hard hand towels) and there is only one small bin. Worst of all the host does not communicate. On arrival, we could not reach her or her manager and had to wait around for his arrival. The host also did not reply to any subsequent messages from her guests during the stay. Otherwise, it’s a great little flat over a canal in a top location by the Rialto bridge.

The view was not worth the extra cost (you can't actually sit and look at it, you have to go right up to the window and look directly down just to see a sliver of the canal) For what we paid, we could have stayed somewhere with a bed that doesn't feel so close to the floor. (BOTH are two single mattress with one near the floor). You have to put on your own bedding including a cover on the (blood stained) duvet. The shower was hot for 3 minutes and then the tank needs to reheat again for a long time. We liked the location, the well equipped kitchen, and some of the nice decorative touches. We weren't overall comfortable and the higher price was not worth the view.

This adorable little flat is in a perfect location for walking to all major attractions and water taxi. Lovely canal view for our morning coffee. I’ll preface by saying it was our first trip to Italy (Europe for one of us). The shower is small..we’re 5’8 and had trouble moving without bumping into something. We also didn’t understand the bed situation but finally figured out it was a twin bed with a slide out twin underneath. Both beds were like this. We laughed and chalked it up to experience. Honestly the location and helpfulness of the host and the charm made up for anything different for us. We’d stay again to get the location! A tip from our guide was the gelato spot around the corner and it did not disappoint!

We got totally lost finding the flat. The pin drop directions were not easy. Even the locals did not know where we were going. Barbara was amazing and asked every tourist if they were us until she found us and checked us in.
