ca'templari second floor apartment

Elena was an amazing host. She was extremely communicative and helped us with everything from restaurant recommendations to transportation. She even met us at check-in and check-out to help with our luggage. Thank you, Elena! We appreciate you.

The home is located close to many shops and restaurants. The ease of getting to the water taxi made this a perfect location for travelers with luggage, there were no bridges or steps to carry luggage over. The hostess was incredibly helpful and even met us at the water taxi to bring us to the home and show us how everything worked.

The apartment was just as listed. It was comfortable and very clean, the kitchen had everything that we needed (microwave, coffee maker, toaster). Elena was an incredible host. She contacted me before the trip to make sure we could meet when we got to Venice, which is very helpful since you can easily lost there. She met us at the water taxi stop to walk us to the apartment and show us the property. She had a map for us and explained different ways to move around Venice. We had a problem with the washing machine and she found someone quickly to solve the problem. She was flexible with our check out time which was great because we didn't have to rush out of the apartment. I would totally recommend this place since the location is great, the apartment is spacious, and Elena is the best host we ever had.

We dislike having to give a mixed review as our host Elena was fantastic. She was great at communicating with us in advance, such as providing the best way to get from the train station to the apartment and meeting us at the water bus stop to walk us to the apartment. She showed us how everything worked in the apartment and gave us great restaurant recommendations. One of the bedrooms was very comfortable for two adults, but the other was not. In the second, the fold out bed was against the wall-awkward for one person. The other side had a rim above the mattress level that made it uncomfortable to get in and out on that side. The bath in that room had two high steps very close to the bed that made it a fall hazard for those getting up in the middle of the night. This room is much better suited to a twin bed. Mosquito alert. Don't open the windows at night. They don’t have screens and the mosquitoes are numerous. We were also disappointed that the advertised dryer didn't work. It factored into our booking decision, but didn’t seem to be a recent problem. The location was great, the host was great, the amount of space was great and kitchen was well equipped, but we wouldn't recommend for two couples since one of the couples will be uncomfortable.
