    A lot of dust behind the bed, during the night a lot of mosquito. Not clear rules regarding rubbish’s. I it is strange that during my vocation I need to take care where to put my empty bottles and this must be done till 8:30 and you need to go 550 metres in one direction to do correct utilisation of it

    Clear instructions what to do if something goes wrong.

    No wardrobe to hang clothes so may be an issue for some (it wasn't for us). Shower is on the small side so a larger build person may find this inconvenient (again, it wasn't for us).

    Amazing location - 10 minutes walk from St Marks Square and 2 minutes walk to Arsenale water bus stop. There are some lovely restaurants cafes and bars on Via Guiseppe Garibaldi 5 minutes away where we ate most nights. Located off a side street so very quiet and peaceful. The management company were very helpful - I was kept informed with information about my stay and options that I could book during my time there. Would absolutely recommend them - many thanks to Serena, Sabrina and Valentina on your team.

    1) The AC on the upper level is not working at all, plus it is very dirty and full of dusty. The AC is hidden behind a coach. We can’t sleep on the upper floor since it was so hot. 2) There is no sponge in the kitchen as it stated, the cookwares are old. I can’t find a lid for the pot. There is no kettle or electronic kettle as it stated. 3) The stairs is steep and it is hard to carry heavy luggage s to get to the apartment.

    1)Good location 2)responsive staffs 3)The ACs on the living room and the bedroom are working fine 4) The WiFi is good

    Not a single hook(and only 2 hangers found) for hanging clothes !!! Many thing were broken(cupboard door near fridge-upstairs sofa)- some needing just couple of minute work with right tools to fix- but it isn't done. Only broken iron for ironing. No electric kettle. Only one mirror in bathroom for big apartment on two levels? Apartment front door is sliding cupboard door ? Not very secure feeling. No soap for hand washing- some dried up thing found from maintenance box.

    Mostly ok, but interesting deficits making good thing to just barely ok.

    One has to pick the keys at a faraway location (near the train station). There are more practical ways to do self check-in which I advise the hosts to implement. There were lots of mosquitos, but I guess that is probably the case all over Venice in summer.

    Good location. There is a boat station to the airport right in front of the house. The hosts answer the contact phone and are helpful.

    The apartment was great. But!!! I chose this place because of his kitchen and they didnt have a fridge!! When I talked to the company they said that they forgot to let me know its not working. Its nit acceptable, it needed to throw away the whole groceries i bought that cost a lot of money. The apartment is not cheap and coat a lot of money and it’s something that i will never recommend about.

    The front door wasn’t secure. I traveled with my two daughters 12 and 15 years old and I couldn’t leave them alone in the apartment. We didn’t stay it wasn’t safe! We had to move in another hotel in last minute very inconvenient for us… Still waiting decision for refund.

    The location is good. The staff was supportive.

    The apartment is located South-East as you look at the map. We had to collect the keys from Piazzale Roma that is North-west. That is we had to cross the whole city just for the keys. Very very very very inconvenient. The internal staircase to reach the apartment door was terribly and unacceptable dirty. There was no wardrobe to hang clothes. I travel with a lot of dresses and that was a problem. Of course there were no hangers anywhere in the apartment. In the bathroom there was no towel rack or towel hanger, so we had to leave the towels on the toilet lid. That was very annoying. The toilet brush was broken (it didn’t have any handle) so we didn’t use it.

    Perfect location. The apartment was clean and in the drawers there were extra towels and sheets. The furniture was in general in good condition and there were plenty of utensils in the kitchen. The air conditioning worked well and was crucial for us because the days were very hot.

    Sweet little apartment close to the Biennale

    It was mildly inconvenient to have to pick up the keys in the Piazzale Roma, but the process was pretty simple. The directions for taking out the trash, in particular the map provided, was inaccurate. Thankfully in practice, it was much easier than the directions provided would lead you to think. The television only receives a handful of channels via satellite I believe, and even those are often interrupted when the signal goes out. I found it easier to simply watch things on my tablet using the Wi-Fi available.

    The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped with lots of dishes, if perhaps with fewer cooking utensils than one might desire if you're intending to do much more than reheating things or making breakfast. The apartment has two mini split units to provide air conditioning, keeping the place very comfortable. The location is ideal if you're visiting the Venice Biennale, as it's literally within shouting distance of the Arsenale. It is also ideally located for transportation purposes, quite close to the Arsenale stop on the vaporetto which also has available service on the Ali Laguna Blue Line to the airport.

    I didn't like small things, nothing in particular or very bad, but: there were a lot of mosquitos, but maybe it's a Venetian thing, a window mosquito net would be great. There are no hangers for the towels in the bathroom, the bed is not that comfortable. And the TV has no signal, it would have been nice to hear some Italian music or news in Italian. Like I said before the bad things are not that important, overall the accommodation was ok :)

    The location was great, the apartment had anything you wanted for a few-day stay or longer. I like the instructions, very precise and easy to follow. The room and space are decent and there is no noise from neighbours. Overall it was a great accommodation. I don't know what people are saying here but the keys are very easy to pick up and the location of the apartment is easy to find, you just have to read carefully the great instructions provided.

    It was not the apartment I contracted for. The pictures show a different apartment. The staircase was dirty and dusty. The shower was extremely small. The toilet was so close to the sink that you were not able to sit on it straight. They should underline and make it visible on the how to get the keys description that the keys are not at the apartment but at the entry place P. Di Roma.

    It is very close to Arsenale.
