  : Cannaregio is a fabulous area and retreat from the hustle and bustle of the tourist crowds. Visiting in July the air con was a welcome relief!Carmen and her friend Lionella were brilliant hosts, explaining all about the flat and managing our slight miscommunication about how many of us were travelling with no fuss. Thanks for a wonderful stay
  : The second bedroom is a little small for 2 teenagers

  : The apartment was lovely spacious and beautifully furnished. Location was fabulous.
  : Unfortunately the towels were old and very hard. The bedding was also well used . The shower leaked a lot . For the price I would expect fluffy towels and crisp bed linen.

  : I really liked the area. It is a quiet backstreet ( canal ) not too far from the train station, but far enough away from the hoards of tourists that invade everyday, yet close enough to all the main sights either by foot of Vaporetto. We have stayed in Venice a few times usually near St Marks, but that tends to get noisy and busy. I would recommend this accommodation and the area if you want a more relaxed experience in Venice. The Vaporetto stop is only a short distance away on one of the larger canals, so getting around is quite easy, and there are plenty of places to eat nearby.
  : Like most places in Venice, getting your luggage to any accommodation can be a pain. This isn't too much of an issue if you are coming from the train station (about 10 minutes and 2 bridges), or the Vaporetto stop (5 minutes and 1 bridge). Other than this issue that plagues all accommodation in Venice, our stay was extremely pleasant.

  : The apartment was in a fantastic location. Very central and close to a main waterbus stop, but far enough away from the main tourist areas to be perfectly peaceful. It was very convenient for all methods of transport to and from the airport and the different parts of Venice. The apartment felt very Venetian in style, it was classically decorated with ornate wooden furniture etc. The three balconies were fantastic, especially the main balcony overlooking 'del Batello' canal. We spent mornings having breakfast here and evenings having drinks before/after going out for dinner. It was so peaceful and beautiful, we really felt we were 'in' Venice, as opposed to just any other modern hotel. Lionella, out point of contact during our stay, was a fantastic host. She was helpful, responsive, and friendly. She took time to share advice and show us where to find things, eg supermarkets, key points of interest, transport links etc. She also showed us around the apartment and explained all of the facilities to us. The apartment was well-equipped and had everything you could need and more. They had thought of everything and even included some basic supplies: milk, water, toast, jams, biscuits, and a bottle of prosecco chilling in the fridge - perfect for an arrival toast on the balcony, as we arrived late at night after the shops were closed. We we very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend this accommodation to others.
  : There were a few minor negatives, but nothing that would prevent us from returning. The coffee machine wasn't working well, but there were alternative options for making coffee, and we did get it working long enough for a small cup! The shower was a little leaky, but this wasn't a huge problem either.

  : This is a spacious 2-bedroom apt with fully equipped kitchen, dining area and a single living rooms, good and comfortable for a family with children. The location is great, particularly close to the Alilaguna orange line to San marco airport and the train station, bus terminal are 5-10pm walk. Lionella is super helpful too and provided a lot of insightful information. Thank you!
  : Nothing really. If I have to pick one, maybe the quilts and towels could be better, but its just a personal opinion.
