Ca’Ghironda

Very caring and helping host, so the check in process was fast and free from any stress. The flat is huge, with the small inner garden, which I unfortunately did not have time to make use of. Cosy bedroom with very comfortable bed, big kitchen and decent bathroom with shower cabin that has good waterpressure. They do not have AC, of which they let me know in advance, but they have a fan, which works just alright - since I do not usually use either, this was not a problem for me at all. The location was superb, just 2 minute walk from vaporetto stop on Giudecca, the door looking at the embankment, so easy to find.

A little tired, but so is everything in Venice, it's part of the charm. So nothing really.

L’accueil a l’arrivée. L’emplacement sur le quai de la Giudecca.

Il pourrait y avoir une recherche de déco.

We loved that this apartment is on Giudeca away from the busy part of Venice but only ten minutes on the vaporetto to the station or St Marks. The place itself is older but has everything you need and plenty of little restaurants nearby.

The place is older so don’t expect it to be shiny and modern but this wasn’t an issue for us.

+ Sara (manager) was very attentive and helpful + it's located on a nice and quiet island + totally equipped (we could easily make coffee and breakfast) + the bed was comfortable

- the heating system broke down and it was very cold inside - my girlfriend got sick and lost her deposit on a surgery she was supposed to have after our return (the owner gave us discount but it was far from what she lost because being sick you can't have an operation). The manager tried to make it up to us and brought a portable heating device. One wasn't enough but 2nd day evening she brought us 2nd device and it was better - the water pressure in the shower wasn't good and the shower set is located in the corner which made me to touch the wall and it was a bad experience as there's mould on it so basically I was wiping the mould with my body (also on the first night the water wasn't warm) - there are no curtains so all the people outside can watch you in the bedroom (it's on ground floor), as two maintenance guys in the morning which were just outside the window - the apartment's price is good but you need to add 40EUR to buy a 3-day (in our case) ticket for a water bus - otherwise you won't get to the apartment. Adding this to the total price makes it... well, 2 weeks earlier my mom stayed in a very nice hotel near Rialto bridge cheaper than the price of this apartment/water bus ticket costs To sum up, the apartment needs a renovation and if the heating works fine, it would be a nice choice. At the moment, I would choose something else.
