The Lovers' Loft

It looked just like the pictures! Quite spacious, one double bed, one single bed and 3 couches so it could fit comfortably many people! I liked that it is located in Campo San Polo, a huge square, so it didn’t feel crammed or creepy when we arrived late. The famous Birraria Corte is just outside the door. It was a tad far from main things like the train station or san marco square (aprox 15-20 mins on foot) but that is to be expected due to venice being quite big and having to walk everywhere by foot, but we enjoyed the area of the apartment as it was quieter and felt more local.

We didn’t cook so we didn’t feel the need for salt pepper or miscellaneous, but their absence is to be kept it mind if you think about cooking. We would also have appreciated 1-2 more trash bags as we collected a good amount of trash in 3 days. In conclusion, nothing super important was missing.

Beautiful central apartment. Well equipped kitchen and fully functional washing machine, perfect for families. Host very friendly and available for any concerns. We were even lucky enough to get access early during the day as soon as we arrived so it made it even easier to cool down and settle as soon as we arrived.

Found some dirt (fluff and left over small items) in 'hidden spots' - eg under sofas and corners.

Fantastic location. Nice to get away from hustle but still be close. Terrific size. Very helpful owner

Odd set up for bedrooms. Would be good for family with younger kids. Not great for adult children couples etc.

Apart from the ironic naming (it's on the ground floor, not a loft - but we knew that) - this is an almost perfect apartment. Spacious and clean with a design that shows the host wants it to feel like you're in a home, not a stale money making property! From plenty of towels, to plenty of cofee pods - comfy beds, good AC, a central area and a spacious living room area, this is a lovely choice - and was definitely a pleasure to come back to each day.

The reason I say 'almost' is only because - as a family of four - we needed to use the two main bedrooms, and the sofa bed in the communal hall area too. Luckily, the one on the sofa bed is a deep sleeper, so didn't get disturbed when any of the three of us got up - but possibly, if you're going to use the sofa bed, and that user is a light sleeper, you'll need to tip-toe past them!
