If you’re on the fence about using this place as your base of operations for a trip to Venice PLEASE do yourself a favor and BOOK IT. Honestly could not imagine a more charming and convenient apartment and location. It was an easy 10min walk from the train station, another 15min to anything you’d want to see—but feels amazingly authentic and away from the tourist bustle that consumes the areas nearer to the grand canal. Just Campo Stin itself was beautiful and quiet and boasted TWO wonderful wine bars, a great little cafe, and a pharmacy, all just a few steps from the front door! In a few more steps were even more great restaurants (don’t let the name of the “snack bar” fool you, we had three of our favorite meals there!) as well as a reasonably sized Conad grocery store.
Inside the apartment: the stairs ARE steep. But they actually aren’t as bad as the first flight looks when you first open the door! AC in the Venice humidity was SUCH a gift, and it’s legit too, with a unit in each bedroom and one in the living room. The kitchen is small but well stocked with nice dishware for cooking. It’s just as cute and bright as the pictures make it seem.
Small warnings: if you’re tall you may want to reconsider. Mostly it’s just the front door and around the edges of the living room where you’ll have to duck (the beds and baths are plenty high ceilinged) but duck you will. Even I had to stoop a little coming in and out and I’m just 5’6”—though once I was in the apartment it was no problem and honestly I found it very worth it.
Make sure when they ask you how you want the beds set up that you’re VERY specific. I was traveling with a friend so requested the “matrimonial” set up, aka both rooms set up as king beds (one for each of us) instead of four singles. But I guess they must have assumed since it was just two of us that I just meant we’d want to share one king, so the second room wasn’t provided with any linens. We shuffled things around and made it work fine and the amount of space felt extremely luxurious—just make sure whatever configuration you want you let them know explicitly so they don’t assume something else and I think it would be perfectly fine!
