    A spacious apartment, beautifully decorated in an antique style, exudes the stamp of Venice, well equipped, very comfortable beds, extremely clean. The location is perfect, slightly separated from the big crowd and yet a number of cafes and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Friendly host always ready to communicate. A little advice for future guests, the easiest way to get to the apartment with suitcases is the T2 boat line, which stops both in front of the train station and the bus station.

    A fantastic place in a very calm and tranquil neighbourhood of Dorsoduro, a 10 minute walk from both bus/train stations and San Marco square, but without all the hustle & bustle of Venice. The apartament is very spacious, great fully equipped kitchen, WC and all other amenities you could think of, all in traditional venetian style. Much recommended for 2 people, two couples or a group of 3-4 people.

    No local shop for fresh bread or pastries. No Aircon - host had provided fans, but in August temperature in apartment did not fall below 27C. Opening windows for fresh air helped a little but we all ended up with 50+ mosquito bites as a result, despite host providing anti-mosquito devices.

    A lovely, large apartment. Well equipped with a good bathroom and shower. The host was excellent and available over WhatsApp. A 15-20 minute walk to the station/Grand Canal. Very quiet area. Nearby restaurant was good with a discount supermarket just 5 minutes away. Furniture is very classy. Some basics provided - tea/sugar/salt/etc. Would happily stay again during cooler months.

    Comfortable, authentic Venetian accommodation in peaceful Dorsoduro.

    As a charming older building typical of Venice, the apartment doesn't have air conditioning, which meant relying on the ceiling fan and open windows during warm nights. The fan produced a rhythmic humming sound that some light sleepers might find noticeable. With windows open for ventilation, we did encounter some insects, which is fairly common in Venice during warmer months. These are really just the trade-offs that come with staying in an authentic historic Venetian building rather than specific issues with the property itself.

    The apartment offered comfortable, no-frills accommodation with everything needed for a pleasant stay. Located in the charming Dorsoduro district, it provided a peaceful retreat away from the busier tourist areas. While this meant a bit more walking to reach some of the main attractions, we appreciated the quieter atmosphere and authentic neighborhood feel. The location gave us a nice taste of local Venetian life while still being accessible to the city's highlights.

    Gorgeous home tucked away on one of Venices charming cobblestone streets - plenty of space, comfortable beds, everything you need and right on the water!! Quaint cafe just steps away, you can walk from Dorsudoro to Cannaregio on the opposite side in less than 30 minutes. Leisurely 15min stroll to Venezia Santa Lucia - the major train and bus station in/out of Venice. Giovanni was SO kind, so responsive, and went out of his way to help my family secure alternative transportation home when our train was cancelled. Such a lovely person, it was an honor to stay in their home :)

    It’s not very clear on booking.com that if you want to use both bedrooms you have to pay extra.

    It was charming, well equipped and Giovanni was friendly and helpful

    I think there's a bit of a moisture control problem with the whole place. Not any reliable ventilation system except for the windows. Lots of mold in the bathroom on the shower curtain and the tile granite. It rained a lot during our stay, and with the windows open when it wasn't raining, we got misquotes that came in, and unfortunately, ruined our sleep. Woke up with bites on my face. 😬 Maybe misquotes are common knowledge as something to look out for with locals, but as someone who's never been to Venice in a moist apartment, it was not very pleasant. The whole place needs a deep clean, and at least 3 dehumidifiers running to make it comfortable. There was a layer of moisture grime on a lot of the surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom..

    Very easy and flexible check-in. The owner messaged me with clear instructions and also made himself available if we needed anything. He has a whole binder by the door with convenient information about Venice like which buses to take to the airport, waterbus information, etc. Easy to book, too. I liked that it was a whole apartment too. My husband and I made breakfast every morning with simple groceries to save a little money. Very convenient walking distance to restaurants and Waterbus stations. Lots of unique charm to the place with hard word floors and unique furniture. Lots of places to sleep.

    Quite old interior, but everything works just fine. Spacious, ckean flat. A calmer area. Special note: The warm water was extremely irregular, or didn't it work, during our stay. Our host tried to have it fixed, but as our stay was over the weekend, he couldn't get hold of someone before we left.. As a compensation, we got a partial reimbursement of the fee. Makes for a fair and honest impression of our host.

    Quite a lot of mosquitoes during our stay)

    The biggest advantage is the location, which makes it possible to feel the spirit of Venice, staying away from the tourist-filled streets. Relatively close (7-8 minutes walk) supermarket Conad, the best in terms of assortment, of all that we came across in Venice! There were some difficulties with the equipment (dishwasher machine), but thanks to the great host, who readily answered all the questions, our holiday experience was absolutely wonderful! Price-quality ratio is perfect!
