Great location
Review Submitted: November 14, 2008
Date of Stay: September 2008
Between booking this apartment & staying there, it had changed ownership. The only complaint I have is that when we booked the apartment the description made a big thing of the fact that the apartment had a computer & free unlimited internet access, when we arrived there was no internet access at all. This was dissapointing as we had hoped to listen to the BBC on-line, but it did not spoil our holiday as the apartment is lovely. The rooms are light & airy, with high ceilings & lots of light coming in through the large windows. The location is great, 2 minutes to the vaparetto stop & you can catch the boats right up the grand canal or anywhere around the city, or a lovely 15 minute walk to San Marco. The area around the apartment is not what you would call grand, but a working area, full of local shops & places to eat. The property was very clean when we arrived & well stocked with cleaning equipment. Everything in the apartment worked & the kitchen was very well fitted out with lots of appliances. The furniture looked quite new & well cared for.
There are two little supermarkets on the Via Garribaldi where you can get all your necessities, also veg stalls (one floating) butchers, bakers etc if you feel like cooking. The two restaurants on the same street as the apartment are very good, great pizza etc. I would recommend this apartment to couples. Don't expect luxury, not at this price, but a very comfortable, well cared for apartment in a very ineresting area of Venice. As the city is small you can be anywhere very quickly by boat, book a Venicecard online before you go & pick it up at the airport. Book this apartment & enjoy Venice as much as I do.
Owner's Response: Internet access was not available because the owner had just been changed.
Now the free connection has been restored!
