Spanning 50 m², the apartment offers a spacious open-plan living area with a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge.

Had a great stay here! Apartment is as described. Great communication. Clean, spacious, notes on the apartment amenities were helpful. Quiet building. It is on the 4th floor (no elevator like majority of buildings in Italy), but not really a big deal..just be aware of it. Close to everything you need to see and do in Venice. Don’t forget to check out Crazy Pizza just around the corner, as well as the gelaterie next to Hotel Da Bruno!! Have the Venetia cream gelato!!! 100% recommend staying here!
6 / 10Average·Jun 2023
The apartment was a very nice one bedroom. There was plenty of space and the kitchen was well equipped. The bathroom was also large. My main issue was the water heating system that was uncontrollable. It was not possible to control the water temperature. It was either too hot or too cold. The owner had left instructions but they were useless. Also, during my 4 night stay, I had to buy garbage bags, dish-washing liquid, laundry soap, and even toilet paper; all of which I donated to the owner when I left.The 4 flights of stairs weren't fun either.
