Excellent location and comfy space

A lovely family stay in the centre of Venice - fantastic location just minutes away from the Rialto. 2 rooms and bathroom with very comfy bed and sofa bed, tea/coffee facilities, mini fridge and everything You’d need in way of toiletries for a weekend stay. - friendly greeting via phone even though I hadn’t pre-read that I needed to contact the owner in advance! It was all dealt with smoothly and friendly - thanks for having us, we had a ball

A good, clean option for spending 2–3 nights in Venice. The EXCELLENT feature—and the reason we chose it—is its location: just a few minutes' walk from Venice's most beautiful and major attractions. The place was clean; although breakfast is not served, two bottles of water are provided, along with a machine stocked with supplies for you to help yourself. The room includes a mini-fridge, a private en-suite bathroom, and air conditioning; everything necessary for a peaceful stay is provided. There was, however, a very unpleasant odor coming from the sewers—specifically from the shower drain and the sink—which caused the entire room and bathroom to smell like stagnant water. This appears to be a common issue in Venice and has nothing to do with the cleanliness of the property itself, but it is something worth keeping in mind.

The bathrooms were tiny, and the shower and bathroom floor had mold all around. The bathroom light over the since did not work. The sconces on both sides of the bed were pulled out of the wall and hanging. As far as I know there were no workers on the premises. We would have to contact by Whatsapp and wait for a reply.

In ottima posizione ma non si ha la comodità dell’ ascensore. Stanza piccola ma carina. E soprattutto molto pulito e profumato. L’accoglienza è stata ottima come i consigli che abbiamo ricevuto. Esperienza positiva
