OVERALL
Venice is like Disneyland and this apartment is like Walt’s private, quaint little studio. It’s wonderful!

The studio itself is pretty small as is the kitchen, but the balcony makes up for it. It’s perfectly located, far enough away from the crowds and tourists, yet within perfect walking distance of everything. This apartment was like our little escape from the crowded streets and tourist groups.

Anna was very sweet to us and was in constant communication before and during our stay. The pictures were exactly like what we experienced and overall we had a great time.

If you’re looking for a place in Venice that actually gives you a taste of Venice living, this is the place for you. I would highly recommend this apartment to my friends and family although I don’t it would be good for more than 2 people.

THE APARTMENT

The studio itself is kind of small but where it lacks in living space it makes up for with the balcony. The balcony runs the length of the apartment and the huge open-air windows make the space feel very roomy and comfortable. Instead of spending our lunches in the crowded streets San Marco, we would grab a bottle of wine, cheese and meats and sit out on our balcony for hours, just grazing at the roof tops and the city.

The kitchen is very tiny, but functional with all the appliances, etc that you would need. I made several of our meals here, and it worked just fine.

The bed was comfortable even though it was two beds pushed together. The washer worked just fine but be prepared to hang dry your clothes which can take forever, as there is no dryer.

The overall decor is so eclectic that the mismatched furniture and fun art just all seemed to go together and made us feel like we were in the heart of Venice.

FAVORITES
The balcony of course!

NOISE LEVEL
During the day you could hear groups walk by and talk and at night it was very peaceful. The apartment is on the top floor so noise wasn’t an issue at all.

LOCATION
We couldn’t have asked for a better location. Situated about 10 minutes from the Rialto Bridge and the train station, Anna’s apartment was the perfect distance away from all the crowds and tourist groups. When we arrived we took the water taxi but could have easily walked to the apartment and save €15. There is a grocery store right around the corner and several great restaurants. Even though we got lost a few times at night, we always found our way home and felt safe.

WiFi
In general the WiFi was okay. We both need high speed WiFi for work and need to Skype and use other video chat programs. The connections were pretty good unless other people in the building were using the Internet, then we would loose connections.
