- excellent location in Cannaregio area, close to many restaurants and a supermarket (ask for Billa supermercato), very clean, stunning architecture and interior design (just a little too dark colours), wonderful terrace on the roof, good kitchen equipment except tea pot, dishwasher out of order during our stay. Still an appartment I can recommend without hesitation!

- We had a wonderful time in Venice. The apartment certainly was a jewel. Very well designed in 80s post-modern style with amazing use of space and light. The roof terrace was even better than imagined with amazing views to the Dolomites, the Campanile and oblique views of canals. Tourist-free area also.. Would love to return.

- The apartment was even more lovely than we had hoped. The views from every window were marvelous. The kitchen was very well equipped and a pleasure in which to cook. The bedrooms were all good sized with very comfortable beds. Everything was clean and welcoming. The location is fabulous-- in quiet area where you are not overwhelmed by the crawling of tourists. Overall, I'd highly recommend this property.

- We thought the location was fantastic. The real bonus was the tradititional roof terrace with views over the city and lagoon. The position overlooking the square on one side and canal on the other made it a great spot for watching daily life. Wonderful quiet corner of Venice. The appartment was great - quirky, everything that we needed was there. Generally good value and we would recoment it to friends and family.

- We had a fantastic holiday. The apartment is unique, in a peaceful and interesting area of Venice. We loved the roof terrace but it would have been better if there had been enough chairs for all of us to sit on (only 3 were not broken) and a parasol or some other form of shade. The apartment was very well equiped and comfortable with some really nice features. It is nice to stay somewhere that feels like it is a home but there is a fine line between it feeling homely and that the owners have just left in a hurry. Unfortunately it felt a little like the latter at points e.g. the bathroom shelves were already full of toiletries, cupboards full of shoes etc. It would have been even better if some of these things had been put away. Although the apartment was generally clean the bookshelves/tops of cupboards etc were very dusty. Overall I would highly recommend this apartment. It could be even better with just a few simple changes.

- Staying in this apartment was one of the highlights of our trip. It's close to the train terminal and situated on a very interesting square that is a little bit out of the way but still close to shops. The apartment suited us well and the kids loved it. The rooftop terrace was a bit run down, but was our favourite place to relax, have a few drinks and watch the action in the square . This apartment is on the top floor so there are a number of stairs to negotiate to get luggage and food etc up there.
