Very special apartment with unique old atmosphere from beams. Nice view from windows. Very comfortable! Location is very privilege. There is a nice restaurant close by, not touristy, very good service and excellent food. And situated right on a canal. Ask the lady about this restaurant at a check in time. Go there! If you walk from Rielto bridge, that would be a street before your street on the left. Walk there and almost at the canal bridge the restaurant is on your right. Blinking lights outside are there. Really good place! So, combination of good accommodation, location and the restoran suggestion made my experience in Venice 5 stars.

this apartment is very central to lots of wonderful sights in Venice. It is a little shabby. It's clean but the furniture is minimal and not in good shape. The apartment was a very nice size and the kitchen was adequate for minimal use. The are 50 stairs to get to the apartment. it is not for the faint of heart!!! The host was good about check in. They met us and took us to the apartment. She actually lugged my bag up the stairs for me. That was very nice.

The apartment is lovely and in a perfect central location. Although Venice was hot during our visit, the AC was adequate and kept us comfortable. The building entry and stair is a bit shabby - and remember it is a 3-story climb - but the unit is terrific, quiet and clean.

We loved this spot! It was in the heart of everything, but when you turn into your little lane, you see the lives of real Venetians going about their business. There is a climb to the top, but then you can look out and see the glorious rooftops of Venice. The spacious bathroom, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds are just the beginning. The truly great part is the kind and hospitable hosts who make sure everything is good and also explain Venice to you. We slept three people quite comfortably and just loved this magical hideaway over the rooftops of Venice, one of the most beautiful places on earth.

The apartment was a very nice one bedroom. There was plenty of space and the kitchen was well equipped. The bathroom was also large. My main issue was the water heating system that was uncontrollable. It was not possible to control the water temperature. It was either too hot or too cold. The owner had left instructions but they were useless. Also, during my 4 night stay, I had to buy garbage bags, dish-washing liquid, laundry soap, and even toilet paper; all of which I donated to the owner when I left.The 4 flights of stairs weren't fun either.

The apartment is clean and comfortable. It is well situated for visiting all of the sights of Venice. There are essentials for cooking simple meals. Our only complaint was the many steep, narrow stairs to access the apartment which made it very difficult for two seniors. It should really be much more clear in the description that the apartment is not accessible for anyone with mobility issues.

The apartment is very centrally located, and walking to a near unlimited number of shops and restaurants is a breeze. Our greeter, Arrigo, was very helpful! He went out of his way to meet us at Rialto Dock when our Google Maps refused to work upon arrival. He also provided us with many recommendations- which we greatly appreciated. Yes, there are stairs - quite a few, which made our large luggage a bit difficult, but not really a problem. And as others have noted, we could not figure out the washing machine - at all. But again, not really a big deal. We enjoyed our stay very much, and would happily stay here again!
