Great apartment with beautiful view of canal. A short 10 minute walk from the train station, so you can avoid the craziness of the water bus with luggage. Sebastian met us as we arrived at the apartment. He was kind enough to give us some travel tips. The apartment has everything you need. We were able to wash our clothes after a week of traveling. The km0 restaurant after the bridge was very good. We would stay there again.

Perfect apartment

The apartment is in a great location close to the train/bus station and good restaurants, whilst still being quiet during the night. It has a fantastic view of the canals too. Sebastiano was a great host and incredibly helpful. We look forward to staying here again when we are next in Venice.

Sebastianos apartment was perfect for us during our short stay. The location was excellent being close to the bus stop and also in a quiet area with a great view! Check in went smoothly as we were greeted by Sebastiano and he gave us great recommendations for places to eat, tips on navigating the beautiful city, and answered any questions we had!

This was a wonderful stay during Venice. The apartment was close to the Piazzale Roma so was easy to get to the apartment with big baggage - only few bridges. The view to the canal was wonderful and also quite. Got good recommendations from Sebastiano on the near by places to visit, how to get around and even nice dining suggestions.

Perfect Location for Venice Stay

My wife and I loved this well appointed apartment which was ideally located in lively but not overly touristy area of Dosoduro. Walking distance for major sites and convenient to transportation hub. Stefano was a great host and was very communicative, he even greeted us at the corner when we arrived. Highly recommend this apartment and hope to return soon.

Great place!

The cottage was just as described, cozy yet big enough for 20 of us. We easily used the local bus system to get in and out of Prague, usually about an hour each way, and to reach the nearby airport. We have zero complaints and many happy memories of this lovely place. Thank you!

Wonderful apartment in a quieter part of Venice and a 10min walk from Santa Lucia train station. Beautiful view of canal greets you in the morning and we walked to the major sights. And also a big thank you to our host Sebastiano, who is so kind and understanding when our train was delayed and still met us at the apartment at midnight. Hope to be back one day!

Lovely apartment, great location, friendly host

We had a fantastic few days in Venice thanks to Sebastiano hosting us in this apartment. It was spotlessly clean and spacious, located in very close proximity to lots of places to eat and drink. Sebastiano was very friendly and easy to communicate with, and it is in big part thanks to him that we could enjoy maybe our only holiday of this year...

A dream location!

Everything about this stay was perfect! The host was able to accommodate an early check in and gave great recommendations for our stay. Waking up every morning to enjoy our coffee in front of the windows and relax there at night was perfect! The apartment is in a great location within a quick walking distance to the train station, and fantastic restaurants nearby. It’s a bit away from the tourist chaos which was absolutely perfect! I cannot recommend this place enough! Can’t wait to come back and visit again!

Perfect location and very comfortable apartment

We can only concur with previous reviews that this is a lovely apartment situated in the right place. We had a really comfortable stay - the apartment is very well equipped. Great explorations to be done daily on foot from the front door. Good restaurants and bars in the neighbourhood. Communication with Sebastiano was good and responsive. Excellent place for a stay in beautiful Venice.

Happy in Venice

Very nice apartment in a great location. Sebastiano greeted us there on arrival and was very helpful to us. Gave us lots of info about the apartment which was great. Maybe a short written list of recommended restaurants, cafes, bars and supermarket with addresses would have been great. He did kindly write a few things on a map for us, but addresses would have been good, as it’s normal to get lost more than once in Venice.

Venice on the Canal

This property was outstanding. The view was perfect, looking right down a canal. We can't say enough good things about it. Not realizing that Venice is a walking city, it was close to the transportation center and within walking distance from restaurants and all the transactions. The property itself was fantastic. We had a rain out day and spent it in the apartment which felt very roomy. It was well stocked for cooking which we do for some of our meals.

Great stay

I always rate my stays by 3 categories; safety, cleanliness, comfort. The apartment and area felt plenty safe. A short walk to the bus/vaporetto/train station, however, far enough away that you don't notice the crowd at the apartment. Apartment and area were clean, no complaints there. Bed was comfortable. The pull out bed is rough, but the couch itself is comfortable enough to sleep well on. Great size apartment with an amazing view. We loved people watching from the windows and taking a break from the hustle. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent

Very convenient location for airport and waterbus transportation. Relatively quiet neighborhood. Clean and comfortable accommodations. Well-equipped Kitchen. Recommend grocery shopping at the Coop at Piazzale Roma rather than Sebastiano's recommendation. Excellent briefing on arrival from Sebastiano, except his restaurant recommendation of nearby restaurant ( Osteria Ae Cravate) was not good; skip it.
