ca'templari second floor apartment

We dislike having to give a mixed review as our host Elena was fantastic. She was great at communicating with us in advance, such as providing the best way to get from the train station to the apartment and meeting us at the water bus stop to walk us to the apartment. She showed us how everything worked in the apartment and gave us great restaurant recommendations. One of the bedrooms was very comfortable for two adults, but the other was not. In the second, the fold out bed was against the wall-awkward for one person. The other side had a rim above the mattress level that made it uncomfortable to get in and out on that side. The bath in that room had two high steps very close to the bed that made it a fall hazard for those getting up in the middle of the night. This room is much better suited to a twin bed. Mosquito alert. Don't open the windows at night. They don’t have screens and the mosquitoes are numerous. We were also disappointed that the advertised dryer didn't work. It factored into our booking decision, but didn’t seem to be a recent problem. The location was great, the host was great, the amount of space was great and kitchen was well equipped, but we wouldn't recommend for two couples since one of the couples will be uncomfortable.

Elena was an amazing host. She was extremely communicative and helped us with everything from restaurant recommendations to transportation. She even met us at check-in and check-out to help with our luggage. Thank you, Elena! We appreciate you.

The home is located close to many shops and restaurants. The ease of getting to the water taxi made this a perfect location for travelers with luggage, there were no bridges or steps to carry luggage over. The hostess was incredibly helpful and even met us at the water taxi to bring us to the home and show us how everything worked.

The apartment was just as listed. It was comfortable and very clean, the kitchen had everything that we needed (microwave, coffee maker, toaster). Elena was an incredible host. She contacted me before the trip to make sure we could meet when we got to Venice, which is very helpful since you can easily lost there. She met us at the water taxi stop to walk us to the apartment and show us the property. She had a map for us and explained different ways to move around Venice. We had a problem with the washing machine and she found someone quickly to solve the problem. She was flexible with our check out time which was great because we didn't have to rush out of the apartment. I would totally recommend this place since the location is great, the apartment is spacious, and Elena is the best host we ever had.

Great location and apartment had everything needed

Very clean and comfortable. Very hospitable host who met us at the dock and familiarized us with the area. Convenient location walkable to most desired areas. Would definitely stay again

The apartment was great, really well located, fully equipped, nice decor. But what really made the difference was the Host, Elena was WONDERFUL, she went to pick us up where our water taxi dropped us of on the main Canal to walk us all the way to the property. She speaks multiple languages and made it easy to communicate for our whole group. Then she provided us some great recommendations for things to see, off the beaten path as well as places to eat. She even helped us arrange our transport back through her connections. Really a GEM

The apartment was perfect for myself, husband and adult daughter and son. 3 comfortable bedrooms and two great bathrooms. The kitchen was a little tight but had plenty of pots and pans etc. for self catering. The little balcony was an added bonus. The nearest large supermarket is over the bridge at the end of the street and then turn right, a 5 minute walk. Simonetta was very kind and explained how everything worked as well as recommending restaurants. Thanks Elena, we will return !

We stayed for 4 nights in Venice, and the property was pretty close to all major attractions. We liked the small terrace outside where we used to drink the morning coffee. The apartment was nicely decorated, all the 3 rooms were enough for our family of 5. The kitchen was fully equipped just no conventional oven, but we used the mini one once. We had some issues with the wi-fi which kept disconnecting very often, hopefully that gets fixed.

this is a very nice appartment in a beautiful and quiet area of Venice, but nevertheless close to the center, easily to reach by foot. Elena, the manager of the appartment, is very friendly and has useful suggestions on things to see one usually doesn't read about in a guidebook. THANK YOU ELENA!
