Monica sent a friendly coworker to meet us upon arrival. She was both welcoming and helpful. There was a variety of snacks and drinks waiting for us upon arrival, which was nice after our long travels.

The location of this place was amazing - just a 2 minute walk from San Marcos Square. That turned out to be very helpful as we were traveling with our two young kids. Bathrooms are hard to find in Venice (at one point we paid 1.50 Euro per person to use a bathroom there) and having a place (and bathroom) near where we spent most of our time (San Marcos Square) was very helpful.

The apartment was very clean, well decorated, and had everything we needed. Be aware that it is on the 3rd floor and you need to take stairs to get up there (no elevator). That means your luggage needs to get up there, too. The excellent location far outweighed the minor inconvenience of having stairs to climb. The bed was comfortable and, even the sofabed surpassed our expectations. The apartment is well insulated from outside noise, which we really appreciated at night.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks so much, Monica! If we find ourselves back in Venice we will certainly look to stay at the Splendid Star again!
