Sebastino is an incredible host! The apartment is stunning and in a very wonderful location. Great restaurants, close to vaparetto stations. Even a custom leather worker below where i was able to get a one of a kind purse! One of the best hosts we have ever had!

Sebastiano was a very welcoming, responsive, and helpful host. We loved opening the windows every day and looking onto the canals. The location is quieter than the hustle and bustle of the Grand Canal and we enjoyed it more. We felt safe and we enjoyed coming back to it each day. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

The apartment is just as you see it in the pics. A wonderful one bedroom with an incredible view, in a lovely neighborhood in Venice. Even better, it’s only a five minute walk to the P. De Roma vaparetto, where you can get all the water buses to visit Venice. Sebastiano is a great host. He met us at the apartment (actually found us, as we were a bit lost), and spent time pointing out everything in the apartment and recommending places to visit and eat. This is a 10 out of 10!

Sebastiano was an incredible host. His apartment was very generously stocked with anything you could ever need. He took his time to answer every question and helped navigate us to grocery stores and any trip we had planned. We were able to do laundry and get all we needed. It’s very close to the vapretto. Sometimes line 1 wasn’t working and you would need to take like 2 with all the other tourists. Please note to take the correct bridge over after the large green bridge. The first bridge after that has a ramp. We regrettably missed that and took the extra stairs. Sebastiano has to rescue us with our luggage and was very generous to help carry our load to the apartment. His apt was a lovely haven to the crest city of Venezia. Thank you for a lovely stay. We hope to see you again.

Superb Family Vacation to Venice
The residence is very large and superbly located adjacent to 2 converging canals. Being on the 3rd floor you have breathtaking views and can truly embrace "life" in Vencie. Sebastiano provided fantastic information about traveling and things to do in Venice. Full size kitchen so you can cook if you so desire. Conventiently located from the train station it's about a 9 minute walk. We have memories of a lifetime Highly recommend!
Great apartment with beautiful view of canal. A short 10 minute walk from the train station, so you can avoid the craziness of the water bus with luggage. Sebastian met us as we arrived at the apartment. He was kind enough to give us some travel tips. The apartment has everything you need. We were able to wash our clothes after a week of traveling. The km0 restaurant after the bridge was very good. We would stay there again.

This apartment is wonderful - clean, spacious, comfy bed, and a great location with canal view. Sabastino, the host, is outstanding! He met us at the apartment for check-in, took a lot of time explaining details about the apartment and the area, and provided suggestions for restaurants, gondolas, and day trips. In our haste to leave the morning of checkout, I left behind the clothes that I had hanging in the closet. Sabastino contacted me and offered to personally deliver them to the hotel that we were returning to following a cruise to Greece. The package was waiting for me when I arrived at the hotel. Sabastino’s kindness is truly appreciated! Don’t hesitate to rent this apartment!

Farewell to Venice
Apartamento Gafaro was the ideal spot for my final visit and my friends’introduction to many of the delights. She will certainly return.We loved the views to the canals from the 3 living room and kitchen windows, watching the constant pedestrian and water activities. Being so close to Piazzoli Roma made transport easy to wherever.

Best spot in Venice
I had the most lovely stay here. Sebastino is absolutely wonderful. A true Venetian local. He showed me where he went to Elementary School down the canal! This apartment was perfect for my artist getaway. It was March and I had lots of rainy mornings but it was so perfect to sit in front of the window and sip my coffee and paint the canal and bridges and passersby. The bed was really comfortable and shower hot with good pressure. It was in a wonderful location by the train station and Vaparetto stops and has some great local eats close by. I love this sweet apartment with an amazing view and hope to be back when I visit Venice again.
