We loved this place and hope that we’ll have a chance to return at some point. Here are the reasons for our 5-star review:
—Clean and well appointed: The place was very clean, and it had everything we needed. The kitchen was so helpful…especially with the fruit stand on the corner and the grocery store around the corner. Would be fantastic for a longer stay.
—Spacious: It was so nice having two bedrooms. Plenty of room for us and our kids to spread out and have space. And the fact that the living room and both bedrooms overlook the canal? Amazing.
—Well located: It was wonderful to have a fruit stand on the corner and a Coop grocery around the corner. In addition, this place is convenient to everything while also being far enough away for you to escape the crowds and noise. St. Mark’s Square was a 15 minute walk, and everything else (Rialto Bridge, vaporetto stop, etc. was even closer). Also just four stops away from the Ferrovia vaporetto stop, so the train station was easy to get to.
—Strong wifi - The wifi worked very well. I was able to do a work video meeting during our stay without issue.
—Helpful host: Veronica was not only very helpful at check-in (showing us around, answering questions) but also very accessible through WhatsApp throughout the stay for questions or suggestions.
—Amazing balcony: Our quiet mornings out there were magical. We loved overlooking the canal and seeing the different types of boats pass by (construction, mail, fruit and beverage, etc) and the residents crossing the bridge.
Tips for future guests:
—Close the shutters at night. It will make for a quieter stay as you won’t hear as much of the boats in the morning. They aren’t disruptive if you are a medium/heavy sleeper, but they could be if you’re a light sleeper.
—Get fruit from the Green Grocer (fruit stand) at least once during your stay.
—Use the balcony as much as possible.
