Irene was a fabulous host and was extremely helpful. Her place was well equipped and even had raincoats and boots for the days that are rainy in Venice. Would absolutely stay there again.
Overall, it combined Venetian charm, modern comforts, and superb location, enhancing our immersive Venetian experience with canal views and close access to iconic sights.
Great property in a fabulous location. Irene was really easy to deal with and her communication was quick. I would highly recommend this property. We were two couples travelling together.
We absolutely loved this darling place in a fantastic neighborhood. We were close to everything you need, vaporetto stations, restaurants, market, shopping, wine everything! It is right on a canal and it is amazing. Contact with the hosts was amazing too. Nothing bad things to say about this property.
We had a wonderful stay! The host and the property manager were so easy to work with and very helpful. The apartment was just as described and in a wonderful location. We would 100% stay here again.
We had a wonderful 2 night stay at this apartment.Perfect location for all the main sights of Venice. Close to lots of places to eat and great shopping.The apartment was clean and spacious and would definitely recommend staying here.
We really enjoyed our stay in Venice. The area was great with excellent restaurants and a small market, and pharmacy around the corner. The owner and property manager were very communicative.
Great location, host and apartment. Minutes from everything.

Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Location was good. We could have used more bath towels since we were there for 4 days and the bathroom drying racks didn’t work. Need to bring your own soaps and it would have been nice to have some kind of a shelf in the shower for toiletries. Lots of paint chips on the floors.
Irene was so helpful from communicating prior to our arrival, check in, questions we had, and helping line up a water taxi for morning of our departure. Property is in quiet area, perfect location, short walk to most attractions. Great view from apt. Will definately stay there if we come back.
This apartment was wonderful! The location was amazing, and we appreciated how clean and safe we felt. We would highly recommend staying here. We would come back again!
Amazing stay at this VRBO.Jonathan was very responsive and the greeter was as well. Great location and the apartment was as advertised. Only thing to note is the canal was very noisy until late at night. We knew that when we booked as it was in the reviews, but it went later than we thought each night. We were glad we only booked 3 night as we would have been sleep deprived if stayed longer.All in all we enjoyed our first trip too Venice!
Walking distance to bars, restaurants, and points of interests.We arrived later than expected and the host did a great job communicating how to proceed with checking in after 6pm. We loved our stay in Venice! Very nice apartment!
Exceeded our expectations! We stayed in five places in our two week stay in Italy and this was by far the best accommodation. Close to restaurants and shopping and the incredible view of the canal.
Our group of 3 couples visited Venice for 2 nights and this rental was perfect for us. We love the location, which was walkable to everything and right next to the water. Also, it is close to lots of restaurants and shops and is lively at night. We would love to rent this place again next time we’re in Venice.
The apartment was nice and in a great location. Many locals lived in this part of town. The bar across the canal was a meeting point for many locals and tourists and always entertaining. Close by are fantastic places for gelato, bread, espresso, and food. The apartment was clean with a great shower. All in all it was a nice experience.
Lovely apartment, just by a canal and the “Fighting Bridge”in a close but quiet neighborhood. Good bars and restaurants are close and the apartment managers were helpful with tips and recommendations. Gondola stop just across the bridge.
We loved staying at this location. Plenty of nearby restaurants and fun places to visit. The only negative is the noise across the canal from a popular nightspot. We realize it is out of the owners control. Overall, we loved the quaintness of the home with all the modern amenities.
