Very clean apt, perfect service for check-in and check -out. Kitchen well equipped including laundry. Air condition very helpful. Only draw back is that beds for the children (bed 3 and 4) were not very comfortable (opening-up couch with headrest well below feet rest (or vice versa). Other than that the apt can be recommended.
Felt we were living vs staying in Venice, thanks to our charming apartment
This isnât the place for those expecting all the comforts of home, but it is perfect for those hoping for an apartment with Venetian character and charm. Loved the high ceilings, furnishings, tall shuttered windows, chandeliers, doors, front courtyard.... It was a very cozy place to call home for 3 nights. Easy to access via the Fondamente Nove ferry stop and within easy walking distance of the Rialto Bridge. Definitely need Google Maps or an escort to find it the first time, though. Downside: air conditioning didnât work, and no one came to fix it, as promised. This made for some very warm nights and the choice between closing windows and sweating or leaving them open and entertaining mosquitoes. Be sure to read the contract carefully, as there were additional fees for cleaning and late check-in that weâre not clearly noted on the vrbo listing.
We enjoyed our stay at this unit and Venice in general. The location is nice and quiet and a quick boat ride and short walk from Fondamente Nove where we were met by Ariana directed to the apartment and given the quick run down. 15 minutes gets you to all the major attractions on the island, as long as you don't get lost which is very easy. Very clean and well equipped if you happen to want to cook for yourself. Make sure to read the fine print to get the true picture of the price as there are alot of individual fees, and many of which they want in cash. Even still it was worth what we paid.
Excellent Potential, But Fell Short of Expectations
The apartment in Venice is beautiful, and located a very short distance from a piazza perhaps 15 minutes from San Marco...and if you enjoy Venice...half the fun of the city is in the walking and the exploration of the quiet canals and alleys. In this sense, the apartment is perfect. Picturesque both inside and out, it is hidden away in a quiet neighborhood, far away from anything even remotely touristy.
Unfortunately, we ran into a few issues that were of concern during our visit. The weather was a bit warm during our stay (early June, 2016), and the air conditioning wasn't functioning. We made a phone call to the local contact, and no one responded. We contacted HomeAway and they responded immediately (very professional)...resulting in action on the local level. Unfortunately, the "quick fix" for the air conditioning only lasted for one day - the apartment was uncomfortably warm for the remainder of our stay. Shortly thereafter, the hot water quit functioning, resulting in ice-cold showers for two days. Again...calls on the local level resulted in no action, and despite the professional responses from HomeAway, no one ever responded in Venice to fix the problem. Perhaps they felt that if we were too warm in the apartment during the day....we could step into the ice-cold shower to cool off? (Sarcasm)
It's too bad we ran into problems with the apartment, as it had great potential. The next-door-neighbor was a very caring woman who asked us if we needed anything...we felt like locals...and the neighborhood was incredibly quiet, which I love, while on vacation. But if you struggle to sleep at night, from the heat...and if you wake up in the morning to a bitterly cold shower, that is NOT the way to end the day and/or start the day...if you know what I'm saying. If they could avoid those issues, they would have a great rental property here.
Located in Cannaregio nr Campo of Sts. Giovanni and Paulo. We took a private transfer from the airport arranged by the letting agents - a car to Piazzale Roma then water taxi down the Grand Canal and along the small canals to very near our apartment where we were met by a representative - a great way to arrive. Going home we easily walked (10-15 mins with luggage) to Fondamente Nova for the alilaguna. There are two bridges to get to the stop that serves the airport beyond the ticket office - or go to the Ospedale stop (one bridge) where there isn't a ticket office. From Fondamente Nova you can get the vaporettos to the islands, the Lido and all other destinations - some may mean a change - not a problem if you have a 24/48 or weekly ticket. The area has a feel of the real Venice about it but is only a 15 minute stroll to the Rialto Bridge and other tourist sights.
The apartment is down a narrow lane behind wrought iron gate for which you have a key, through a garden (which is not for your use) and up an easy flight of stairs. It feels safe and secure. For 2 people the flat is quite spacious with a sofa bed for another 2. I didn't find the bed hard as some reviewers had suggested and slept very well. We shut the shutters to make it dark and it was very quiet. Light sleepers may notice locals going to work on the canal in the morning but this isn't a problem and there is no traffic noise as no cars! There is plenty of hot water from the boiler and a good shower over the bath. The ability to have a soak in the bath is most welcome after a long day. Some reviewers have said that the apartment is a little worn and there are a few small things that a handyman and the cleaner could do that would make all the difference to people's perception. Two dining chairs had the stuffing knocked out of them & were stained, the shutters didn't secure open & would close themselves when there was a small breeze up the canal, the kitchen looked like it had been stocked with odds and ends some of which could have done with a clean as did areas like under the bed (I had dropped something that rolled under there). We were told we were too late for the shops and there was nothing in the flat. It doesn't cost much & makes a huge difference to arrive to a few essentials i.e. coffee, milk, sugar, condiments - maybe a bottle of prosecco! A local restaurant sold us some though later we found that the Coop on Calle Marcello, 5890 is open till 9pm
This was a very special apartment that was spacious and equipped with antiques, high ceilings, a beautiful new bathroom, a comfortable eat-in kitchen, and had a grand entry way from the street. We found it easy to go anywhere from its location. We highly recommend it as a place to stay, and we plan to rent it again.
