This location is excellent set along a small canal, right by a lively plaza, and just a short, convenient walk to the Ca’ Rezzonico Vaporetto stop, which also connects directly to the Alilaguna airport service.The apartment itself is spacious, and the beds were comfortable. The host was friendly and responsive, which we appreciated. However, there were a few drawbacks.Because of the central location, it can be quite noisy at night, with people outside socializing well past midnight. This didn’t bother us too much, but it could be an issue for light sleepers.Unfortunately, the shower in the second bathroom was clogged and unusable for our entire stay. The host wasn’t able to arrange a repair in time, though they did offer a partial refund. Managing with only one shower for multiple people was inconvenient.The most significant issue was a strong sewer odor coming from the main shower drain throughout our stay. While canal smells outside are to be expected at times, this was much more intense and noticeable indoors.Also worth noting: there is no microwave, which we hadn’t realized beforehand. While there are two small refrigerators, a microwave would have been helpful.With better maintenance and a deeper cleaning, this apartment could truly match its fantastic location.

Everything was wonderful. The host had a management team that was in contact with us throughout our stay and they were most helpful. The location of the property was incredible. A few hundred feet off the Grand Canal and just mere feet from Campo San Barnabas and Campo Santa Margherita. We were living among the locals as it were. We really felt as though we were returning home after sightseeing each day. We will gladly stay here again the next time we visit Venice.

Location was good. We could have used more bath towels since we were there for 4 days and the bathroom drying racks didn’t work. Need to bring your own soaps and it would have been nice to have some kind of a shelf in the shower for toiletries. Lots of paint chips on the floors.

Location was close to water taxi station and peaceful nights for sleeping. Area for improvement would be cleanliness- shower overflowed x2, contacted maintenance folks and reported they had repaired. Freezer is fullOf snow- not functional as not cleaned in long time. Fridge also dirty when arrived- food bits on fridge shelves. Note there are several stone steps to go up which are challenging if using cane and have heavy bags. Bianca helped us carry them! Washing machine worked but not the dryer. Bianca who checked us in left us with restaurant suggestions that were terrific. Service was excellent! Thank you Bianca!

Amazing stay at this VRBO.Jonathan was very responsive and the greeter was as well. Great location and the apartment was as advertised. Only thing to note is the canal was very noisy until late at night. We knew that when we booked as it was in the reviews, but it went later than we thought each night. We were glad we only booked 3 night as we would have been sleep deprived if stayed longer.All in all we enjoyed our first trip too Venice!

This was an excellent apartment for a weekend with our family of 5. Checkin was very straight forward even though we wanted to checkin earlier than usual. The apartment has the charm of a period building but with modern bathroom and kitchen facilities. Everything was clean and well kept. It is situated in a quiet part of venice with views overlooking the canals. There are no shortage of fantastic bars and restaurants within 2 minutes walk. Thumbs up to Jonathan the host for answering all our questions about transfers and restaurant tips. We will be staying here again when we return to venice.
