Venice, Giudecca, comfortable apartment for 7 with a magnificent view of the can

Calm nice small staircase and batroom need better air conditioning and supplies

The apartment is nice enough and has a great view but the shower upstairs leaked into the first floor. We notified the property manager with no response. Also the AC didn't seem to work so we opened the windows and had a nice breeze but that let in a lot of mosquitoes and now our kids have a ton of bites. You also have to manage your own trash. Next time we'll pass. (This is our first negative VBRO review.) Aircon, no leaks, and screens on the windows would get 5 stars.

We stayed two nights and loved this apartment, great location just far enough away from the hustle and bustle but within a two minute walk to the nearest water taxi. The communication with the host was great and keys left in a lockbox on the door. We didn't use the cooking facilities but there seemed to be everything you would need if you wanted to. Would recommend and stay again.

The host welcomed us at the ferry terminal and gave us clear directions on how to get to the air bnb from the train station. The apartment felt very safe. The view from the window is amazing to wake up too with the water - just like the photos. The host gave us great restaurant recommendations and helped on any questions we had which made our stay in Venice perfect. As we had a late flight we were also able to leave our luggage there during the day which was a massive help as it meant we didn’t have to carry our bags around for the day. The area is much more quiet than the main island but highly recommend as it’s only a 10-15 min ferry to the square. Highly recommend to stay here.

Great view and convenient location away from the tourist traps near San Marco. Senore Federico was very responsive. If you want the amenities of the Hilton Stucky you can stay there but at this price point, there is probably not a better option in all of Venice.

The apartment is in a lovely spot, with a great view of the canal. Unfortunately, that is all that can be said for it. The air conditioning cools only the front of the apartment. Upstairs is unbearably hot (and I am very tolerant of the heat, having lived often in Venice). The only place where one can sleep is on the lower floor, in the room with the two not very comfortable single beds. It could be ok for two travelers, but that's it. Couples and larger groups should avoid this place. The apt. is managed by an agency in Rome, which doesn't know Venice well. They have hired a Venetian to come and go for them, so a guest is at three degrees removal from the owner. When a problem arose (a shoddy key, which broke one evening in the lock, just a few days after our arrival), it was a nightmare to solve. The agency called or sent messages every day, both from themselves and from the owner, who lives in Morocco and demanded that we pay for everything. The experience ruined the entire stay. Everything the other reviews say about the agency and its sudden demand for fees at the end of the stay is true. Avoid this place, unless you have money to burn and are traveling in a cold month, alone.

I would caution any senior about the spiral stairs leading to the upstairs master bedroom loft. They are of uneven depths and quite challenging. They did a good job of utilizing the small space with the cabinets and furnishings that maximize the overall feel of largeness. The location is close to two vaporetto stops, the fish market, 3 bakeries, and a short 5 minute walk to the coop (supermarket) No TV for video or news watching, but I assume everyone is on line anyway, so not a big deal. No microwave, but not a terrible inconvenience. No dishwasher, again not much of a bother. With the downstairs bedroom it will comfortable sleep 4 adults, and two extra beds upstairs if you have kids or teenagers that don't mind a lack of privacy and don't mind sharing the small bathroom (there is a second bathroom on the bottom floor. I'm giving it a 4 star for the reasons above, and the cost of the property being quite high relative to many other properties we've had on Giudecca.

Great place

Lovely atmosphere with nice decorations and view stunning from living room windows. Really knew you were in Venice. Main drawback was lack of air conditioning unit for upstairs sleeping area as it was very hot at the end of July when we visited. Kitchen is a little basic but OK for short stay. Lots of great restaurants nearby. Host helpful and prompt for key handover.

Don't just visit Venice, absorb it. Loved this property, and the views are second to none.
