We stayed at Regina d'Oriente from July 2-5. We were 5 adults traveling together: 2 married couples and 1 single adult. The apartment met all of our needs and the space was very comfortable to live in. The description is very accurate. One room has 2 single beds that can be put together to make a double bed, the other bedroom has a double bed, and the living room has a sofabed.
The kitchen functioned very well and we felt very much at home. There is a washing machine that we made great use of and a clothesline on the exterior from the building, accessible through the window. We hung our clothes to dry on the outdoor clothesline and we immediately felt like one of the Venetian locals!
Venice was very hot during our stay so the Air Conditioning in the apartment was a well deserved treat after a full day of sightseeing. The air conditioning unit is in the living room but is powerful enough to cool all the rooms of the apartment.
What kicked off our Venetian trip to a positive start was our check in with our host, Laura. We arrived at the main train station, Venice Santa Lucia and took the water ferry bus to station San Stae. From there, our host Laura greeted us at the ferry stop and escorted us to the apartment. Having Laura as an escort proved beneficial as Venice is known for its alleys and endless streets so having a guide there on your first time through was helpful. Once we saw the route once, we remembered it the rest of our trip... We never got lost!
Upon arriving, Laura oriented us to the apartment, provided an overview of Venice and the must see sights and eateries for us to enjoy. Her sister Rosanna was very helpful prior to arrival in all email communications and answered any questions I had.
This is a well run operation and we will definitely be back. The apartment is well located and very accessible. Highly recommend to all!
