“The apartment was exactly as described on the listing. A great location.”
Location was great. Apartment was lovely. Key handover was easy. Would highly recommend as the vaporetto and water taxi was directly out front of our apartment. Only a 5 minute walk over the Constitution Bridge from the train station and we were at our apartment. A very convenient location as we were traveling with our 3 children

“I loved the location, it was so easy to hop on a water bus right outside your front door. The property is right opposite”
Right outside the water bus station, easy to get around with a travel pass.

“Good flat for a few friends or small family. 2 bathrooms”
The host will meet you and explain everything about the flat. It is next to the bus station and train station so very easy to get to airport or trains. Some noise if you open the windows but a view of the grand canal. A/C and fans in the flat.

“Excellent property for a longer stay”
Excellent communication before arriving and info for staying in the flat. Perfect location for arriving in Venice and leaving as well as a key stop for several vaporetto lines outside the flat. Has two bathrooms and showers which maybe I missed in the description but was handy. Flat has everything you need for your stay....except a bottle opener for wine.

“Nice flat in very good location, be aware of 40 euro late checkin fee and a moody property manager”
The flat's location was perfect, 6 mins away from the train station, opposite the water bus station. The flat itself had quite eclectic but nice looking furniture, an interesting ornate mirror in the living room caught my attention. Beds were comfortable, we slept well. The person delivering keys was polite and helpful.

“Good location”
The apartment has a great location, right next to the bus/train/boat stop. Several restaurants, Coop convenience store and a luggage storage facility is nearby. All of these make the place very convenient. Its a spacious apartment and was comfortable for a family of five.

“View to the Canal is beautiful! Excellent location near the train and boats station or even on foot!”
View to the Canal is very beautiful. Excellent location. We were welcomed at the train station to take us to the room and give us the keys (which helped us a lot). The place is not very beautiful from the outside, but internally the apartment is excellent! The walk to Piazza San Marco is very nice to do, even with children. Breakfast and restaurants next to the stay, very good!

Great location, just over the bridge from the train station, at the door was the ACTV water boat transport. Found the apartment to be quiet, the A/C units kept the apartment cool, no problems.
