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 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. Kitchen could use a microwave and updating . Would have been helpful to have 2 sets of keys.

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.
This property was perfect for us. Easy to get to by water bus, just a short walk from the stop. Away from the crowds but easy to access all the shops. 2 couple staying each with own bathroom perfect. Restaurants just over a bridge and the local supermarket around the corner for breakfast foods, and a little bar a stones throw away. Would highly recommend.
This property is within meters of bars, bakery, restaurants, a small supermarket, a fruit barge and is within easy walk of both the Academia and Rialto bridges. The property itself is lovely with canal views and some lovely furnishings. Communication with both owner and local agent was always very responsive and accurate. Recommendec!
Location of apartment ideal for visiting the main tourist attractions and good mix of locals and tourists around.. Apartment equipped with everything required and of high quality. Outlook over the canal was really interesting and included the famous fruit and veg barge. Wonderful baker within yards and a useful supermarket really close plus an abundance of cafes nearby. Hope to return.
We had the most wonderful time at this property. It was completely perfect in location to all the sights the communication with the host was simply amazing. My family was so in love with this place! Thank you so so much for the start of our Italy tour!!.
Fantastic spot in Venice close to restaurants, bars, access to vaporetto, and walkable to the P. Roma. Comfortable beds, two bathrooms and modern appliances made this an effortless stay.
We had a wonderful stay at this charming property in Venice. The neighborhood was absolutely beautiful—picturesque streets, a welcoming atmosphere, and easy access to everything we needed. There are restaurants and a grocery store very close by. The host was truly exceptional, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring our stay was as smooth as possible.The home itself was lovely, though we did notice a bit of dust in the corners and around the beds. It was a minor detail that didn’t take away from the overall experience, but a little extra attention to dusting would make it even better. That said, the warmth of the host and the fantastic location made our trip truly memorable. We would certainly consider staying here again!
We enjoyed our visit very much. A lovely property with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable living space, nice bathroom and wonderful location. Our host representative was responsive and extremely helpful. Dorsoduro is quiet, full of great restaurants, a convenient grocery store, pharmacy, etc. Close to the vaporetto with easy access to airport and train station via water taxi. Two special amenities? Window screens and Sonos system! Just great!
Great location. Easy to walk or by boat to anll locations in Venice. Lots of restaurants close by. Supermarket just a short walk. Excellent check in process.
Loved this property, close to shopping and restaurants. The water taxi ride was absolutely beautiful. Would highly recommend this property. We went in April and the weather was amazing. Thank you for everything!!!!!
We loved the unit. It provides easy access to the quieter areas & small canals of Dorsoduro, while still being close to the Grand Canal, the vaporetto, and all of the busier tourist attractions.
Our family of 6 stayed here for New Years at the end of our trip to Italy. The location was great - more of a local neighborhood but walking to St Marcos square. Lots of shops and places to eat and groceries nearby. Apartment itself was good - very clean, updated bathrooms good amount of space and felt very safe. You could look out the window onto the canal and there was a fresh fruit/veggie boat right there. Host communication was wonderful and they met us on time and took us to the apartment. Would definitely stay here again!
A great place to stay in Venice. Feels like a lot of thought has gone into making the flat both stylish and homely. It's very well equipped, very clean, and both the main bed and the pull out beds were very comfortable. The aircon was The thing we really liked about the flat was the area around... Lots of good restaurants, and a decent supermarket... We liked being in a slightly less intensely touristy area but it was a walkable distance to the city centre and the Ca’ Rezzonico vaporetto stop is very close.. We'd come back :)
We stayed for 3 nights (4 adults and 1 15 year old). The apartment was exactly as described and was just the perfect size for our group. It was really hot when we were there, but the 2 A/C units were a life saver!! The location was convenient to everything, the canal market was just outside the front door, and a bakery, gelato store, and several restaurants were right around the corner. It gets a 5 star for sure!!!! Thanks Jon!
