Great property, wonderful location!
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!

Apartment by a canal
We were 3 friends visiting Venice. The apartment was very cosy and very well equipped with all we needed for our stay. Near to supermarket, bakery and restaurants. I loved watching all the students from the bedroom window going to college and school, one felt part of Venetian life!! I would recommend this apartment.

A great home in Venice
The property was great—well-equipped, amazing location. It was easy to walk to any attractions we wanted, and there’s a market ( floating!) on your doorstep with bakery and grocery just around the corner. Irene was very helpful—we appreciated being able to leave our bags on our last day after checkout. Thanks!

Cute place but…
Bathrooms smelled like stagnant water. Some black mold near the grout on the main shower and ceiling. That smell continued all 3 days we were there, the biggest drawback. Two college dorm refrigerators one had a small freezer that was frozen shut. It needs to be defrosted, because it’s not usable. Beds were comfortable, bedrooms were nice. Due to the humidity and only a washing machine, it took 36 hours to dry a small load of laundry. The apartment is located across from a wine bar so if you are a light sleeper you won’t get to sleep until after midnight.

Excellent location and accommodations
4 Adults stayed in this apartment in a charming section of Venice. Just steps to the Leonardo Museum and the famous bridge of fists. This is a perfect location to be Immersed in a local neighborhood. We felt safe always. We walked the narrow walkways late into the night and before the sun came up. We all missed being in Venice when it came out time to leave. Hoping we can come back and stay in this wonderful apartment again one day.

Awesome
We had stayed in this apartment in 2018. It remains a excellent location, easy access to water bus, grocery store , restraunts & shops . The atmosphere felt more Venetian than touristy . We had a free issues with plumbing, but the owner was prompt to have it assessed . Do read the apartment manual, it’s helpful if issues that may arise. We hope this apartment will be available again on our next trip.

The BEST location!
Property was perfect for 2 couples or a family. 2 full bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living room. It has an unusual setup as you go in the front door and up a narrow flight of stairs. When you go into the apartment there is an entry and All other rooms are off that. So there is a door to the kitchen and one to the living room, as well as each nedroom. It worked well for us as we could get up early and go into another room and close the door so it was quiet for those still sleepingAll overlooking a fairly quiet yet lovely canal and close to nice little squares with grocery, restaurants, and gelato! It is in an historic old building. Ireneet is at the Vaporetto stop and assisted us with our luggage to the apartment. The water taxi was unable to take is to the apartment because of high water level so had to drop is at the stop. Check in was smooth and checkout simple too.

Charming and Cozy
We were a group of 4 adults. This was my 3rd time in Venice and love to stay in this quiet area away from the busyness of the tourist district. Close to great bakeries and restaurants .Unfortunately this trip we had 2 days of rain so the apartment was very warm and cozy at the end of a dreary day. The 2 bathrooms were very helpful with 4 adults . The unit is very spacious compared to there we have stayed previously . I would definitely recommend!

Location lie great But…..
Our check in process was seamless even though we arrived late evening. The location of the apartment is great for access to St Mark”s Square, restaurants and cafes. We immediately noticed that two of our beds had a stain on the blanket. The bathroom that connected to the bedroom also had a pungent smell. The main issue is that a dryer is listed on the property amenities and I assumed it was an all in one. Unfortunately I was left with a load of wet laundry and an early morning train ride. After communicating with the owner and my contact I was told there is only a drying rack. Also, it would be nice to have shower gel, paper towels, hand towels, coffee filters and a Brita filter pitcher. We literally had liquid soap, bath towels and toilet paper!

Good for Venice
This property is fine for Venice, as finding an apartment in the Dorsoduro area is not easy. However, be careful about pickpockets, as my laptop was stolen right under me. Also, avoid during peak tourist times, as they also bring bad elements. AC was one of the weaker aspects of this stay, so if you are coming during the peak summertime with temperatures in the 28-34C range, avoid this apartment. It took a whole day to cool down enough for us to even stay indoors. The location is great as St. Marks Square is only a 20-minute walk.
