What can I say except...”Stay here when in Venice”!
This apartment is way better than it looks in the photos which don’t do it justice.
We stayed over New Years...in the heart of winter and it was wonderfully well heated. Brilliant heated towel rails (with hooks so you could dry all your towels).
LOCATION- great. Out of the hustle and bustle and thus also cheaper than staying right near St Marks, but in a great local neighbourhood which is only a ten minute walk there.
Right near a Vaporetto stop (literally 80metres).
It’s up a narrow laneway - don’t be put off by this when you first arrive. It means it’s peaceful and quiet. You don’t get canal views but there is a nice garden view.
THE SPACE -
Everything was fantastic.
I love the space the owner, Mattia has created. You can tell that he is an Engineer/Architect.
Everything in this apartment flows. There’s a place for everything and everything is in its place. It’s only a small space but with two levels and a large double-storey void it feels really spacious.
Two bathrooms makes it really easy. Everything was sparkling clean and every detail was thought of....the clothes hanger with lots of pegs and there was was even a shoe-shine kit.
It’s really cool and funky. Had that Architect designed feel with some really cool art and furniture pieces.
DOWNSIDE- it’s up a narrow (but beautiful and modern) stone winding staircase. Don’t let this put you off! We had 5 massive suitcases so it was a bit of effort but well worth it! Mattia helped us too.
We are a family of four with two teenage boys and this was perfect for us.
THE HOST - just great. Easy to communicate with (in English), ultra responsive and very helpful. He even booked the water taxi for us when we left and helped to take our luggage to the wharf.
We would definitely stay here again!
