I was not able to stay at this property due to not be able to contact the host. I got there at 7:30 PM. The host did not answer and Expidia was gonna contact me within two business days. I had to find a place to stay at the time. It was really scary and expansive.

Please note that the property does not have an elevator. This means we were bringing our senior 65 parents up so many flights of stairs to the top floor. House was mediocre, not the cleanest. Photos oversell the property massively, be warned.

The apartment is located on the top floor, but unfortunately, the elevator is only used for transporting items, not for guests. The shower had visible black mold, and the stone floor was not only uneven but had holes as well. The AC unit was extremely loud, and its filter was filthy. The apartment itself looked nothing like the photos; it was dark, dingy, and overall disappointing. We decided to leave a night early due to these poor conditions, but the owner refused to acknowledge our concerns and did not reimburse us for the night we didn’t stay.

It was a horrible experience staying in this property. The AC didn't work. When we called, they did nothing and then stopped picking up our phone. So basically if something goes wrong while you are there, you will have no one to even speak to (let alone them helping you). The bed had hair on the sheet so clearly they didn't change bed sheets after previous guests left. The room had a strange stink. You are better off staying some where else. Don't ruin your vacation by staying here.

Poor apartment avoid.

Apartment was in poor condition. Sewage smell in living room. One of the bathroom the toilet was basically unusable as it was 5cm from the shower. There is a manhole in the living room which was in poor condition and this meant smells came into the apartment. The checkin policy was not flexible as we arrived 1 hour early and was told we only get the code at 3pm even though there was no one inside and cleaning.

Ok as a base to explore

Overall a pleasant stay and is a good apartment as a base to go and explore but wouldn’t stay if I had young children or wanted to be in the apartment for anything other than sleeping & showering.

Pros:
1. Property was in a great location; 20 mins from Rialto Bridge & 25 mins to St Marks square.
2. The apartment was very clean
3. beds comfortable
4. shower was hot
5. Could leave our luggage outside of the room (though not guarded / locked away)

Cons:
1. Toaster didn’t work
2. the apartment was quite dark
3. there were building works right outside of our apartment which we were not informed of earlier and because of how close the buildings were, they might as well have been in our apartment. This didn’t affect us on the whole however we had been travelling on the first day for several hours and wanted to get a few hours sleep which was just impossible.
4. Elevator didn’t work
5. Noisy in general (you could hear next door just walking around, never mind talking)

Listen up. The property was well kept. The check out was the worst experience me and my family had in our life’s. With all the change in hours from the USA we missed the time to check out. LISTEN UP we were thrown away to the streets with two little kids under 3 years old each. The cleaning lady walked in the worst mood , no education or humanity whatsoever. We had to get out that’s it. I felt homeless. In America someone would have called, charge us more money or any other solution. The way the situation was handled was inhumane.

There is no lift and we had 6 suit cases ... Is not near the center is about 2 km.

They charge extra when you go to the office . They say is a fee for government.
You never speak with the owner is a office of who rents apartment. When you ask they tell you they dont know nothing you have to call the or write to the main office.

No big complaints, our family of 5 stayed there for 2 nights (in Apt 3) and everyone was satisfied, nice and clean and well located to to check ot the famous tourist areas of Venice. Not difficult to find the reception (which is next to Piazzale Roma) where we got very detailed printout with pictures making it very easy to find the apartment. The only complaint is that the web description and lots of mails said \"Best Rialto Apartments With Lift\" but the lift was locked with the note \"only for staff\" so I would recommend not using \"With Lift\" when advertising the apartment.

Disappointing

Unit was dirty and offers no paper product amenities or soap. Rules overly restrictive and borderline ridiculous especially regarding use of air conditioning. Make sure you clarify payment method. If you want beautiful views of Venetian canals, spend more and stay at a hotel that isn't in an urban neighborhood.

To many problems to list-dont waste your money!

We had apartment #4. No customer service. Found fresh blood stains on sheets. Internet only works in the hallway for rooms 1-4. Big electrical problems in this building. Main circuit breaker kept blowing(another renter showed us how to reset it). A/C broken in one room. All other apartment renters had similar problems. Washer and dryer didnt work. My first review was rejected and it was very detailed. There were to many headaches at this apartment. Dont let them spoil your beautiful vacation!

Good for groups, good value

Was very clean and in a good location, although not the easiest place to find. The rooms were spacious and generally good value for six people. There was a cute little balcony also which was nice, not an amazing view but not bad either, was nice and light. On the third floor with no lift, but this wasn't a problem for us, I enjoyed my stay and would use this place again, however beware of the 95 euro cleaning fee and the fact you can't check in until 3pm

Great apartment, spotless and roomy. Plenty of blankets and lots of towels for the whole visit. The girl who showed us to the apartment was very friendly and e-mailed us ahead of time to set up the meeting and gave us directions to the stop from the train station. She recommended some restaurants and grocery shops in the neighborhhood. Be aware there is a €95 cleaning fee per stay, which may significantly impact the nightly cost, especially for short stays. IMPORTANT: we needed cash to pay for the hotel, be sure to check total cost when you set up arrangements for meeting. Great location, few blocks from vaporetto stop, right in center of city. Loved it!

A bit over priced for what you get

There were a lot of hidden fees. The price quoted on hotels.com was substantially less than the final price. Given the high price (around 490 Euros for 2 nights), I was surprised by the many little oversights. The bathroom, although recently upgraded, showed several signs of poor workmanship and poor maintenance. For instance, part of the wood trim on the bathroom doorway had just been pulled off and was sitting in the bathroom. Also, a glass shelf from the shelf from the shower had been removed and placed precariously above the bathroom vanity. The couch in the living room was absurdly uncomfortable and had large tears at each end. I would not stay at this place again.

not exactly what we needed

It is not suitable for families with small children due to the distance from the closest waterbus. Good only for people with very little luggage as you have to walk over many bridges to get there from waterbus stop. The best staff member is definitely Melania. She will go out of her way to help you.

Modern and clean but costy

The apartment was really nicely furnished. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They charged us for \"greeting and cleaning service\" that wasn't included in the price which made it quite expensive overall. The tv has a lot of international channels including quite a few English ones. The kitchen was well equipped with a supermarket nearby.

The apartment was great, good value for money, quiet location. We could not check in until 4.30 so had to hang around all day because had a flight in the morning, so of booking get a flight that gets in late afternoon. Good if you have children because you can put them to bed and then sit in the other room with a nice bottle of wine and relax.

Suitable for short stay

Ideally situated for exploring Venice and not having family confined to hotel rooms. Everything of a reasonable standard. Although living area was very small.

Caught out (by not readng terms closely) that cash payment was required and deduction had not come from credit card as is usual with Expedia.

Worst accommodation ever booked through hotels.com

Air-conditioner at living room is not working. Air-conditioners at bedrooms have strange sound, di di sound, when operating. Cooker hood damaged and is not working. Hair dryer is not working that needs replacement by another one on the second day of stay. Timber floor planks at living room peel off that results in uneven floor level causing my wife fallen down many times. Water seepage and comes out from the timber flooring at living room. Rubbish on the floor of master bedroom.

Die Lage des Apartments ist sehr gut. Wir haben am Campo san Stin eine Sprachschule besucht und so hatten wir nur eine Minute von unserem Apartment zur Sprachschule zu gehen.
Das Apartment ist ausreichend groß und die Betten sind sind gut. Das Bad etwas klein aber noch in Ordnung. Die Ausstattung könnte etwas besser (eine Kaffeemaschine in nd ein ordentliche Weingläser wären toll). Dafür gibt es aber einen Kühlschrank mit Eisfach und einen Tisch mit Stühlen, etwas Geschirr und Töpfe. Zwei hübsche Schlafzimmer ein kleines Badezimmer und ein „Wohnzimmer“ mit kleiner Küchenzeile. Außerdem war es recht ruhig. Mit der gesendeten Wegbeschreibung haben wir das Apartment schnell gefunden - von der Piazalle Roma ca 15 Minuten. Allerdings muss man die Koffer dann aber 3 Stockwerke hochtragen da der Fahrstuhl nur für Mitarbeiter ist.
Alles in allem würden wir das Apartment wieder buchen da die Lage für uns einfach perfekt war.

L'appartamento è grande, ma non ha nulla a che fare con quello delle fotografie presenti su expedia. Pulizia approssimativa, ma sufficiente.
Il peggio è stato la gestione dell'emergenza Covid-19. Sono stato avvisato alle 12 di dover lasciare la struttura per le 14. La struttura mi ha detto di essere obbligata a farlo, cosa non vera né allora, né ora (se si leggono i decreti del governo). Il tutto dopo aver tentato inutilmente di contattare la struttura fin dalla sera prima: tanti numeri di telefono, nessuna risposta.

Familen i Venedig

Lejligheden ligger et godt sted, ikke langt fra noget. Ca 10 min fra bus stationen, 15 min til Markus pladsen. Den ligger på 2 sal med elevator. Dog en speciel elevator hvor man skal holde knappen inde hele tiden mens man bruger den, og til max 2 personer. Vi brugte den til at fragte bagage op og ned, dog med et lille uheld fordi en af tasterne væltede ned foran sensor og derfor ikke ville køre ned. Da vi skulle med flyveren blev vi lidt presset, men heldigvis var receptionen hurtige til at få en mand frem på stedet så vi nåede vores fly.
Til gengæld gik det ikke så hurtigt med at få varmt vand, det fik vi aldrig, i den ene afdeling af lejligheden, badet og køkken uden varmt vand i alle 3 dage.
Endvidere så er aircondition nogle gamle meget støjende versioner. Er der varmt, og det synes vi, skal der enten soves med ørepropper, svede eller sove med åbent vindue og blive ædt af myg.
Vi var 9 voksne afsted, famile, og tilbragte det meste af tiden ude af lejlighed så vores ophold var ganske fint.
