We were welcomed by Faith, who explained to us the features of the house and the houserules, etc. She was very kind! We were asked to pay a so-called 'city tax' of 1,50 per person a day and a fee of 25 euros because we checked at midnight, so bear this in mind when booking this room.

Casa della Porpora was situated in a lovely, quiet neighbourhood, with shops and restaurants around the corner. We only had to cross one small canal and walk a few 100 metres to reach the city center, which was really great!

The room itself was perfect for us (we were in room 2): the bathroom is clean and modern, and the beds were really comfortable, especially after a long day of exploring and walking :) one BIG plus: the room had airconditioning (!) and our towels and bed linen were changed every few days, which was lovely.

It was nice to be able to use the kitchen, however we were not allowed to use the stove and the oven, so unfortunately for us as students we weren't able to save a bit of money on that. We were allowed to use the fridge, though, as well as cups and plates. We did get the feeling that using the kitchen wasn't really appreciated, as we only found a few basic items in the drawers, and no scissors or knives to cut your fruit and vegetables with. In other words, if you like to eat out every now and then on your holiday, but you also want to cook yourself, then I wouldn't recommend this room.

Another thing: the advertisement stated that there was WiFi in the room, but it only worked in the kitchen. We hope that in the future, this problem will be solved to improve the stay of other guests!

Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet Arianna because of our late night check-in, but she sent us very useful directions and tips on how to reach the apartment by (water)bus, which was really sweet.
We were allowed to leave our suitcases for a few hours at the apartment on our last day as well :)

Despite all of the criticism, we would still recommend Casa della Porpora to our friends, as it is a really clean and quiet place to stay in Venice.
Thank you for everything!
