Great Spot
We had great communication. The host messaged me long before my trip. Day of we were offered early check in to match our train as well as ability to stay a little later. The house was clean and had all the things we needed. There were 6 of us and we all stayed comfortably no problem. Don’t miss out on this place it was great!

Fine accommodations, great location
We loved the location and enjoyed the relative quiet while staying close to all the sites. This apartment was not very comfortable, though, with sagging mattresses and limited heat. Also seemed high priced, but maybe that’s just Venice market. Owner was very communicative.

Nice stay, great host
Gianmaria was a great host and very helpful from the time of booking through to check out. The property is located fairly centrally in a quiet part of Venice. It is about a 10-minute walk from the train station with some bridges and stairs involved so plan for that if you are bringing a lot of luggage. It is nice that he has both a washer and dryer for laundry.

Great place in Venice. Super clean!
Gian Maria was very responsive to questions and had the room early when we arrived earlier than originally planned. Away from most of the crowds - the street was a little loud but by 11 pm (on a Saturday) had quieted down. Did not see a grill or hot tub but didn’t have a need for those in a cool November. Would definitely stay there again if we ever return to Venice!

Venice holiday
The apartment was charming and had all that we needed. The location was great and a short walk from the train station. Gian Maria was an exceptional host. He was very communicative with us prior to and during our stay. We appreciated the well stocked coffee and laundry supplies.
We had a wonderful stay at Ruga Bella. It’s located on a quiet street but located close to cafes and restaurants. It is a very spacious apartment and the beds were so comfortable.
The host was so accommodating and was quick to respond to messages. I would highly recommend staying at Ruga Bella!

Great place!
My stay with our 4 adult children was wonderful. We had plenty of room for the 6 of us. The beds are comfortable, the flat is on a quiet street with an adjacent plaza. Great restaurants, gelato and shopping in easy walking distance. Just a 9 minute walk from the water taxi stop.
We are so happy we selected this rental. Highly recommend

Great one night stop in Venice
Great stay for my friends and I. We are a group of 2 couples and 2 singles (6 people total), so the sleeping arrangements worked out perfectly. The bedrooms are spacious. The entire flat is very clean. There are clear and helpful directions throughout the flat. Gian Maria was very responsive, helpful, & gave nice recommendations. Would recommend!

Pleasent stay
Property was clean and comfortable. We only slept there. We were not in Venice to stay inside. There is only 1 a/c unit, located in the entrance hall in between the bedrooms, so bedroom doors needs to be left open. As it is Aug we needed a little a/c. Location was great. No hesitation to nook again and no regres.

Hidden gem
Venice is beautiful, as long as you do not stay too long at the major tourist attractions. Gian’s appartement is situated in a beautiful and very authentic part of Venice. Walking distance (12 minutes) from Piazzala Roma. Functional and clean apartment with two bedrooms where I stayed with my family of five. Communication with Gina is first class. Super responsive, very helpful and has great suggestions. He is a proud Venetian with lot of connections in the neighbourhood. We just stayed for one day and one night, and truly enjoyed it!

Best VRBO in Venice
Maria was the best VRBO host I've ever seen. Has been a waiter in the area so he knows all the best places to eat. Place is immaculate clean and huge compared to most vrbo's. I've been in in Venice
The property was perfect for us. It was in a quiet neighborhood but just a short walk from a lot of shopping and tourist areas. We'd highly recommend it!

The property was located very close to the Santa Lucia train station and were able to walk to all of Venice very easily. The property easily slept 6 adults and had AC! The property manager was very responsive and helpful. Plus we were able to do a quick load of laundry since there was a washer and dryer.

We only stayed 1 night, but the apartment was perfect! Great location and everything we needed was there. We wish we had had more time to stay and explore, but if we find ourselves in Venice again, we would absolutely stay in Gian Maria's apartment again.
