It was wonderful! It was located one story above ground level. The stairs were easy to climb. They communicated well, greeted us upon arrival, supplied us with a few snacks, sodas, and waters. Access onto the building, the apartment entry and room was done digitally. We had a beautiful view of the ocean.

Very easy to get to from the airport (50m walk from the ferry stop). Very clean. The wifi was a little slow, but I think it’s because we were in the back rooms. Very friendly staff!

Great place to stay in Venice

We stayed 5 nigths at this place, and the room was spaceous, and comfortable with a nice view towards the seaside in Venice, and the stop for the waterbus "Arsenale". The room was cleaned nicely every day, and they even gave us new waterbotles every day with no extra charged. Friendly staff and a perfect location . The location is just a litle outside the most crowded place and close to a more local area in Venice, but stil close to the city centre. Breakfast is not included, but we had breakfast in local shops/restaurants close to the place. The room, and the staff was great and we recommend the place. Even the price was nice compared to other hotels.

Barbara was so helpful and Marybeth who keeps the place sparkling is a true gem. The location was ideal because of its proximity to the highlights of Venice yet away to escape the crowds. When in Venice next, I will definitely return.

Good choice in Venice

Location is just outside the over-touristy area, quiet and nice. Boat stop just by. The owner and the woman doing housekeeping is very kind, and service minded. Big rooms, and very clean. Be aware that this is not a hotel with reception (as almost every place in the area), so make sure to get the check in instructions in advance. If ever going to Venice again, I would stay here.
