We had a fantastic 5 night stay in Venice at this newly refurbished apartment. Communication beforehand was very clear and Giacomo answered messages promptly.
Our train arrived into Venice before the check-in time, but because the apartment was available, Giocomo kindly let us check-in early. Upon arrival, we met Giacomo at their lovely family-run hotel only minutes from the train station. We were welcomed with a nice cold drink and snacks before Giacomo walked us the short distance to the apartment.
The location is fantastic and is only a minute walk to the nearest Vapporetto station. We felt very safe as the apartment is located in a gated courtyard and secure doors and windows.
The apartment is really clean and comfortable. The kitchenette is well-equipped with crockery, utensils and pans etc. There are useful features like air con, washing machine/tumble dryer, dishwasher, heated towel rail and hairdryer which made our stay very comfortable. The apartment will also have a WiFi connection soon as it was being installed when were there.
The only minor issue we experienced was that the power cut out on us twice so be careful of using too many appliances at the same time. However the issue was immediately resolved when we contacted Giacomo and it was simple to access the fusebox.
Giacomo was only a phone call away if we needed him which was very reassuring.
Upon check-out, we were kindly allowed to store our luggage at the family's hotel near the station as our train didn't leave until 8pm.
Would recommend this apartment and Giacomo as a host to anyone, and would definitely stay there again in the future. Thank you Giacomo!
