Cà Bonivento

Nice, big and stylish apartment, close to the beach, main street and to the boat harbor. Very quite, and well equipped rooms, two bathrooms, two bedrooms. The owner was very helpful to inform us about the arrival details as well as by leaving our baggages behind.

As it was under the roof at certain places one could not stand up. We arrived between 8-9 pm as we indicated and strengthened it 1 hour before, still we had to wait about 10-15 minutes for the landlady to come and give us the keys. During that time we could not contact her or the owner, so became a bit uncertain and sweaty in front of the gate. On top of that we had to pay 40 EUR penalty for late check-in fee. We could not figure out how the owen works even with the manual.

The apartment was in a lovely building and very convenient for Venice.

The shower was too weak an cubicle was small. You have to be careful you don't hit your head on low beams.

Extremely well equipped except for kettle and mosquito swatter. Very peaceful. Well located for beach, Vaparetto and supermarkets. Actually worked better than staying in central Venice. Spacious, good hot water. Low ceilings for tall N.Europeans.

For people who react to mosquitoes they are a real threat outside, especially at dusk. They hide in the beams inside so some sort of netting inside the windows would be perfect. However given it is in the roof (no lift but wide stairs) and we brought a battery operated fly swatter, it was manageable.

The only nice thing to be said about this apartment is the location, which is very close to the main street and in okay walking distance to the beach and to the water bus stop. The photos and description is not a match to reality.

Arrived Friday afternoon, wifi so slow that is was useless. Germany based owner initial reply was that this could not be solved in weekends. He then did try to contact the provider, but it remained unsolved. The ceiling height throughout the apartment is not fitted for average height guests. The one bedroom has a curtain for a door, the other you need to crawl to move around the bed. Not 2 bathrooms, but 1 bathroom and 1 toilet without shower. We booked 3 nights, but checked out 1 day early without demanding a refund. The owner then offered to refund us for the last night. Then he made it conditional that we left a good review. He got our bank information, but we never received a penny. Instead he began writing us about the wifi being perfect, repetedly asking about our review. Quite annoying to spend our time on his messages in the following days, when we initially just moved to another accomodation without demanding a refund or raising further issues - specifically to avoid letting this rental ruin our vacation. Can absolutely NOT recommend.

Great location, beautiful house. Liked the whole apartment, cozy and quite big. There was coffee and tea, and needed appliances in the kitchen. Contact with the person at arrival, really nice and welcoming, lots of explanations, smiling and kind. She waited for us a long time, which was highly appreciated.

It was hard to get the luggage upstairs without an elevator, 3rd floor. The apartment is under the roof, so it was hard to stand up in the kitchen, and I hit my head a couple of times. We heard the rain loud on the roof, not easy to sleep. I wish there were two more appliances in the apartment, a hair dryer and an iron / table.
