Residenza Dondel

This flat was changed by another due to unexpected renovations in this one, but we loved our stay in the new flat. The apartment was very clean, 10 mins walk from Piazza San Marco, almost in the city center, but on a quiet street. It was very clean. The host Enrico was very helpful and friendly. Everything was great!

The property was 2 blocks up from the Grand Canal, tucked in a quiet cul de sac off a major pedestrian road, full of restaurants and small shops, including everyday things you need like supermarkets, pharmacies, etc. plus a lovely park. It was a really easy walk to St Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace, and the landing stages for the vaporetto. It was really well stocked with spare bedding, pillows, etc, the bathrooms were both large and had a range of toiletries plus instant hot water and the kitchen was full of crockery, pans, utensils, etc and everything worked. There was a designated quiet time for the 3 apartments in the block which everyone kept to, so it was totally quiet through the night even with windows open. The host, Denise, was really attentive and answered straight away any questions we had.

It's picky, but we couldn't work out how to use the stove top espresso maker and we did have mosquitoes in the apartment, which wasn't expected, otherwise it couldn't have been better.

Great location. Off the beaten path with lots of restaurants and markets. Nice set-up for 2 couples. Kitchen supplied coffee pods, salt, pepper, and olive oil. This allowed us to make our breakfast with bought grocery items.

Posizione ottima per visitare la biennale ed in generale per alloggiare in un’area di Venezia meno caotica

L’appartamento è carino ma molto migliorabile per il prezzo pagato. La pulizia è da rivedere. Il freezer (che non abbiamo usato, ma abbiamo aperto) era sporco e nelle docce c’è muffa, ed in generale è tutto molto datato. C’era un bicchiere per gli spazzolini da denti con il fondo incrostato da utilizzi precedenti. Il primo giorno ho chiesto di sostituire la lampadina della camera che era fulminata, ma non è mai arrivato nessuno.
