Venice stay

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.

Wonderful short break

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 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!

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!

Definitely stay again

Loved the location (on the canal, two cool plazas only a few yards away). Communication in general and especially how to get there was great, which was extra helpful in Venice given the unique and diverse choices on how to get from the airport to the property. Everything was as advertised and the host was very responsive to our questions.

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.

Nice, comfortable jewel in the heart of true Venice

This listing is in an amazing part of Venice. Close to the nightlife of the University section, it caters to a younger crowd. The space itself was very nice and comfortable making this location a jewel in the rough. I highly recommend staying at this location if your in Venice for a stay.

Fantastic location

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!
