Guest Reviews
- László Virt (3/5): Liliputilak - Az elhelyezkedés és a tisztaság. A hálószoba és a fürdőszoba belmagassága körülbelül 160 cm ami nagyon kényelmetlen volt az én 187centis magasságommal. Ez nem volt a hirdetésbe megjelölve sehol. + Zuhanyzás után a WC használata csak csónakkal közelíthető meg, mert nincs zuhanykabin és minden csupa víz!
Az ágy olcsó és gyenge minőség. Háromszor leszakadt alattam.
- Kim1964 (10/5): Great place to stay - Superb location. 1 min walk to Ferry station (including ferry stop to n from airport). Accommodation spotlessly clean. Well equipped. Loved my stay here. I have no complaints but possibly wouldn't suit tall people due to restricted head height in bedroom & bathroom.
- Tanya Christine Pierce (1/5): Un esperienza da dimenticare - NIENTE!! Tutto!! Non siamo neanche arrivati nella struttura.
Abbiamo chiamato la struttura dal treno in arrivo a Venezia per chiedere informazione per lasciare il nostro bagaglio e eventualmente prendere le chiavi della struttura.
Ha risposto il Sig. Luca, dicendo che la nostra prenotazione e stata annullata, in poche parole noi siamo rimasti senza un alloggio regolarmente prenotato a febbraio pagato per intero a marzo. Ok, booking ci ha trovato un altro struttura.....ma ci siamo trovati nel girovagare per la città senza avere la certezza di avere un alloggio per la serata. Inoltre abbiamo dovuto sostenere il pagamento dell'intero importo alla struttura sostitutiva, spesa che ad inizio viaggio non era assolutamente prevista. In poche parole questo signore ci ha rovinato il nostro soggiorno. Sconsigliamo vivamente questa struttura per la scarsa professionalità e serietà del responsabile.
- Silvia (2/5): - The ceiling in the bedroom and in the bathroom is so low that you cannot stand up right.
- Anne-Mare (8/5): Authentic Venice room with a view - Perfect location very close to the vaporetto. Lots of restaurants nearby… easy to walk to major locations but outside the very busy San Marco area. More authentic feel. We were able to leave our bags prior to check in. Check in and out were easy WiFi was advertised but did not work the entire time even after reporting issue. No tv but not that big of a deal except there was no WiFi either. Bed and bathroom not full height. Ceilings are about 5’7, my husband and I are 5’10 and 6 ft respectively. We were made aware of height after we booked but made it work, there is a shower chair and we just dressed downstairs. So not a deal breaker. Lack of instructions from host on some issues
- Rémi (6/5): -
- Paraskevi (6/5): - Η τοποθεσία Το χαμηλό ταβάνι σε υπνοδωμάτιο και μπάνιο, η κατάσταση του μπάνιου και η αδυναμία επαφής με τον οικοδεσπότη
- Maria (10/5): - 25 min walk to San Marco, 1 min to Accademia vaporetto.
Great location, good accommodation, clean, kitchen area with all you need.
- Elena (6/5): - Posizione ottima,centrale, con supermercato vicinissimo.
Luca super gentile e disponibile, avevamo chiesto check-in anticipato e siamo stati accontentati.
Cucina cmq ben attrezzata con piastre,forno a microonde e pentole/posate ben tenute. La casa come spesso accade a Venezia è lasciata a sé stessa, muri scrostati, intonaco staccato, polvere ovunque, antine dei mobili cadenti.
Il bagno e la camera da letto sono in un soppalco bassissimo (io sono 1.75m e non riuscivo a stare in piedi, la doccia è stata una impresa). Inoltre le barre di sicurezza sono ridicole,saranno a 40cm dal pavimento, pericolosissimo.
L'apertura della porta e del portone sono con un codice, non dà grande sicurezza ( anche perché il codice nn credo venga cambiato ad ogni cliente!)
Ci è stato chiesto di lasciare la tassa di soggiorno sul tavolo prima di andarcene,senza ricevuta..
- Herrero (2/5): Techo del dormitorio y cuarto de baño mu bajo , de 150 cm - La habitación y el cuarto de baño eran muy bajitas, no se podía estar de pie en ninguna de ambas sin que te dieras en el techo con la cabeza , y tanto yo como mi pareja medimos 1.70 CM . Creo que se debería advertir de dicha altura , pues esas dimensiones en España no tendrían ni licencia de ocupación. al no poderte mover con libertad tanto en el cuarto de baño , como en el dormitorio .
- Filothey (10/5): Exceptional -
- Elishia (8/5): Very good -
- Osman (9/5): Superb - The location and coziness of apartement is super sweet. No fancy words are needed !
- Krahulcova (7/5): Good - The location was good. Quiet stay. The bed was comfortable. No towel or tool to keep the floor in the bathroom dry and clean. The room was exposed to a lot of sun due to no curtains on the window by the bed.
- Cojocaru (8/5): Very good -
- Caiden (6/5): Pleasant - A well located apartment with easy self check in service. Good value if you don’t mind the small bedroom and bathroom. Wifi wasn’t great and overall the property needs some maintenance to bring it up to standard.
- Taehee (10/5): so gut - The location was convenient for going to tourist attractions as there was a dock right next to it. It was nice that the air conditioner worked well, and there were no bugs, so it was a clean accommodation. The kitchen was clean and the accommodation was well-equipped. Because the bathroom floor height was low, my friend (172cm) had a bit of trouble every time she washed, but I (162cm) was able to wash comfortably without any problems. However, this part can be confirmed in advance by looking at other reviews, and it may be acceptable.
- Corinna (5/5): Okay for two nights - Good location on the water The door to the apartment didn’t lock. Lock was broken and the locksmith was on holiday so couldn’t replace it!
You could not stand up in the bedroom or bathroom due to exceptionally low ceiling. ( we are 5 ft 7) This was not obvious when booking.
- Reuben (6/5): Pleasant -
- Rebecca (9/5): Superb - Location was great and easy to find with the directions from the host. Perfect amount of space for me and enough facilities that I was comfortable to stay in and relax in the lounge area when needed. I had no issues. But if you are tall this property won’t suit you. I could stand in the bed loft and bathroom but I am 159cm tall. Anyone taller would have to hunch over in these areas. Just something to be aware of.
- Paige (6/5): It was a short trip and was perfect for us as a couple. Nothing overly fancy. The cages were nice around the area and it - Good location. A lot of restaurants around. A lot quieter to the rest of Venice which we liked The bathroom and bedroom was awfully small (height). My partner (6 foot) wasn’t able to stand in the bedroom or bathroom, neither myself without hitting my head. There was a shower stool to use, which my partner took advantage of as there was no other way to shower in the small area. To which the shower stool collapsed underneath him (he’s not a heavy man). He then had to shower on his knees the rest of the stay (thankfully it was 2 nights). There was no toilet paper for us to use while there (he was grateful for the bidet, myself, was grateful for closer cafes). The AC made a loud noise the whole night and kept the bottom half of the house cold, except the bedroom
- Marie (7/5): Good -
- Shae (9/5): Superb - Location was great, easy to get to and walk around Venice.
- Lindsey (7/5): Good - liked being new the canel only issued was the shower and bathroom had no headroom was so a bit small hight wise
- Michael (9/5): San barnaba on the canal is great little loft. decorated with nice features it felt inviting. - The location is wonderful and communication and check in/out was exceptional The Wifi was spotty, and the bathroom was smaller than pictured (I'm 5'10 and it was a STRUGGLE)
- Stacey (7/5): Great location, awesome host - BUT ... Not as luxe as the pics indicated. - Luca was fantastic, good directions and the location was excellent, awesome view of the canal with boats going past, felt like Venice! Responsive helpful host gave us clear instructions when we had an issue with the AC not working - fixed it quickly. The room was quiet at night but bed was very hard (but so is every bed we've slept in so far on our 5 weeks in Italy) - Lucas place had a great atmosphere but was lacking a little extra. Lack of security, lounge area a bit too small to comfortably relax as we didn't have anywhere to put our bags other than the seats. My partner fell in the bathroom as he had to crouch down to shower.
- Fitzpatrick (8/5): Quaint apartment but not if you struggle in small places. - Very cute apartment. Excellent location. Comfy mattress. Loved the view of the canal out of both windows. Would stay here again.
The apartment is behind the Louis Da Vinci museum. This square has a nice vibe to it. Also, you can take a left under the buildings to reach Rialto bridge and St Marc's etc via the famous wooden bridge. Or, go to the right, over a bridge and a little further to find a square of bars and restaurants. It's only 10 mins to Piazza Roma where the buses are. There's also a water taxi stop literally at the bottom of the street the apartment is on. Avoid if you have a back problem. It's a maisonette style flat with sleeping area above the living area. You can't stand up in the bedroom/ bathroom unless below 5ft tall. My partner looked like Gandolf in a hobbit house lol. Sitting down on a stool for a shower was surprisingly enjoyable, but it was difficult being bent over washing teeth, face and pulling trousers up etc. I questioned this having read other reviews and was told at 5'9, I'd be ok. Definitely not. You will have to bend. We got dressed downstairs.
We got a duvet, but no duvet cover. This bothered me as not as soft or fresh, but unsure if this is a cultural thing.
- Delen (8/5): Very good -
- Anita (8/5): Very good -
- Elizabeth (4/5): Disappointing -
- Gnaughto (9/5): Great location, great price - Great location, great price. I was just looking for somewhere to sleep and it did the job. Big comfortable bed. Communication was good before the trip, and instructions to get in were simple. The mezzanine bedroom/bathroom was just too low for me to stand up in. It wasn't a big problem, as I was only really using it as a place to sleep.
- Adam (9/5): Cosy apartment in a great location. - Clean and pretty apartment, was especially warm considering how cold Venice is at this time of year! It included everything we needed and the host was very responsive. Location was also great. Only potential downside was the low height of the ceiling in the bedroom/bathroom. Was only a problem for one of us and also not enough of a disadvantage to stop you staying!
- Werther (4/5): Extremely disappointing - The location was central and near the main attractions of Venice I was very disappointed with the appearance of the house - totally different from the photos found on booking.
At first impact I immediately noticed a very large presence of dampness, with very important pieces of plaster detached even near (very precarious) electrical outlets.
The house totally lacks hygiene and cleanliness, completely covered with hair.
The chandeliers, with half of the bulbs broken, did not sufficiently illuminate the house.
The bathroom and bedroom are located in a loft, in which it is impossible to walk without bumping my head, being a person with normal height.
Once I got to the bathroom I noticed many things that were unacceptable in my opinion:
- hand soap and toilet paper already started
- a lot of dust
- a water leak from the sink
- the door skirting board coming off every time you enter the bathroom
- absence of shampoo and shower gel
- but most importantly, inability to take a shower due to the absence of a curtain separating from the rest of the bathroom, with the considerable risk of wetting the electrical outlets.
- the ceilings are about 150 cm high
Even if it were possible and not dangerous to take a shower, it would be impossible, since it would have to be done by bending over.
The sheets in the room were found dirty, probably used, and not ironed.
Completely full of hair and dirt, especially the pillows (turned yellow from white) and the comforter.
Suggestion to the owner:
The environment would be very nice, but before renting it needs a total renovation, people inside the apartment should be able to be comfortable not being afraid to take even a shower!
- Timothy (9/5): Stayed for a month, had our best holiday ever, superb location and price. - 1
The location is perfect - within 100 metres of a vaporetto stop used by both the airport water bus stop and the regular water buses. There are loads of restaurants near. You can easily walk to anywhere in Venice you want to - Rialto, San Marco, Salute, the Zattere. the Frari - anywhere you want. But you are not in the overcrowded San Marco area.

The price. We didn't care about any of these points because of the 2 huge advantages mentioned in "what did you like". But just so others know, the apartment, though clean, is a bit retro and tatty. The WiFi is very flaky - seems to be load related - i.e it will be fine sometimes and other times hangs up totally or gets unbearably slow. The main room is not very well lit. The bathroom is a wetroom and the water drains very slowly indeed. Twice it stopped draining altogether and I had to lift the drain lid and poke around to clear it. Also the bathroom ceiling is low so you have to stoop slightly when showering.
- Grainne (8/5): City break to Venice - The location was absolutely amazing. Right on the canal and near a quieter square not packed with tourists but still a lot going on The bathroom was very tiny, it didn't bother us too much as myself and my partner aren't that tall, but some taller would definitely struggle to have a shower
- Mya (9/5): Superb - great location and host was very quick with responses the loft and bathroom had very short ceilings so just be aware if you are on the taller side you will be crouching in the bathroom while showering
- Eloise (9/5): Fantastic, liveable flat in a great location! - Amazing location and the apartment is very well set up for comfortable living. Luca was very friendly and helpful The low ceiling in the bedroom/bathroom is a disadvantage but it worked fine for one person
