Overall a great place to stay in Venice!

Excellent location. Everything was perfect!

What a wonderful apartment and experience in Venice! The host was easy to communicate with. The location was perfect. We arrived by train and we connected to Line 2 which dropped us off at San Samuele which was a short walk to the apartment. For our flight out of San Marco Airport we booked on Alilaguna and had just a 7 minute walk to Santa Maria del Giglio. Both were economical and fast options for a family of four. Once at the apartment we just walked everywhere we wanted to go. The WiFi was excellent in the middle and front bedroom. We would get kicked off in the rear bedroom from time to time. Not a big deal. The kitchen was a mixed bag but not unexpected for a European apartment. We could only cook one large pan or pot at a time. It had no oven. The sink was small. The refrigerator and freezer were fine for our needs. The dishwasher and washing machine were excellent. The beds were excellent as were the bathrooms. One had a tub which came in very handy and the other had a shower. Our family would stay here again. I would not even look anywhere else.

Our apartment was very clean, comfortable, and quite unique, especially with the interesting (& useful) kitchenette that was inspired by a boat's galley kitchen. The apartment also has a courtyard - very nice, and green. A more subtle feature is the two bedrooms being on complete opposite sides of the apartment - great for increased privacy. The location, being on the Grand Canal, makes for a convenient drop-off by water taxi. And if St Mark's Square is important to you, it's only a 15-minute walk. Our host, Giovanni, was very responsive, as we discovered an inoperable microwave. He quickly arrived to diagnose the issue, confirmed it "broken" and had it replaced within a couple of hours while we were out and about. His colleague was also responsive with a quick reply to "where is an actual grocery store?" Thank you!
