Property is true to on line add and communication with hosts was easy. While it is true there are 3 flights of narrow stairs, having a getaway from the crowds so close is worth the effort. Plus which I viewed them as the cost of eating all the wonderful food. The apartment is tiny but this is Europe and they are ALL tiny so I was not disappointed at all. The gracious hosts even supplied some breakfast supplies to get us started which was so appreciated! Monica gave us good recommendations for awesome restaurants and directions to a Co-op for purchasing other food supplies. So much to see and experience we will need to return and hopefully this cute apartment will still be available!

The apartment owner requested that I get what’s app on my phone to make communication easier. He was able to send videos through the app that showed in detail how to find the apartment and check in. Be sure not to take the card out of the slot by the door when you leave. I misunderstood the sign, thinking it was just a convenient spot to keep the key so you wouldn’t forget it, when in fact the power to the apartment goes out when it is removed. We came back to a dark and stuffy apartment and it took a while to figure out what was wrong. There could be written instructions for the washer/drying machine as even looking it up online and having an employee come up to show us how to use it we had a lot of trouble getting our laundry done. The steps are very steep. 56 of them. I knew that when I booked but had injured my knee earlier on our trip. Everywhere you go in Venice has lots of steps though. Venice was our favorite city we visited and this apartment was the most convenient location of the four cities we visited in Italy.

The property is managed professionally with the well being of guests in mind. The apartment is clean. Toiletries are well provided. Coffee, milk, tea, juice, fruits and cookies were also provided. Strangely, the air conditioner shut off around 2 am each day we stayed. We are very satisfied with the owner’s response to the situation. Immediately, he sent the technician and his assistant to fix the problem each day. This was good because it was in the high 90s Fahrenheit outside. The location is excellent. We will not hesitate to recommend this property. Tip for future travelers: bring insect repellent, the mosquitoes outside are hungry.

Cannot tell how wonderful it is to step out of your apartment door and be in the perfect spot. Only a few steps to the San Marco Square and numerous shops and restaurants. Didn't get lost in Venice as is often the case since it was so easy to find the Splendid Star. Unit was clean upon our arrival and the kitchen was amply stocked with bread, jellies, juice and fruit. Would return again should our travels take us back to Venice!!

The apartment was decorated Venetian style which made it fun! The location is PERFECT, an quick walk to San Marco Catedral and right on the shopping and restaurant pathway through charming area. Easy to also catch a ferry and transport to all sites. There is a great "deli/bar" just around the corner that we used for grabbing a quick croissant for the morning and sandwich to take out for lunch. Maria, the property attendant was very kind and helpful.

Wonderful small apartment just a stone’s throw from San Marco Square. It was a fairly narrow staircase going up but it was worth it. Great little apartment with AC, washer/dryer, small kitchen unit and great bathroom. Space is a premium in Venice so you’re not going to find anything too big for less than a mint. We were thrilled with this place. Centrally located in between Rialto Bridge and San Marco square. Highly recommended.

High quality remodelling. Beautiful venician furnishings. Comfortable bed. Gorgeous bathroom. Fully equipped kitchen with cookies, milk, coffee and lots more supplied. Air conditioning worked great. Cannot say enough. Loved it.

The apartment suited us perfectly, and Monica & Fabio were excellent to work with! Their communications were quick and gave all the information needed. The washer was broken, so Monica had our clothes laundered for us. The apartment was spacious and had all the necessities, and very thorough instructions for everything.

This is a small apartment in the thick of San Marco Square. If you want to be close to the square this is the place for you. If you like staying in old city quarters, this is for you. The city literally surrounds you (not unlike staying in the old city in Jerusalem) and this apartment epitomizes that. The staff is attentive and left some food goodies and drinks for us in the frig upon arrival. Be aware that there is very limited space for baggage, really only one surface to place a bag on, or you will give up seating or table space. The only other place for baggage is on the floor in the sitting area, but we had trouble moving in the space with a large bag on the floor. The small air conditioning unit in the sitting area works pretty well for the whole small apartment and it was critical for us even in May because opening the windows meant mosquitoes in the apartment. If mosquitoes are bothersome to you, this is not the apartment for you. Unfortunately, even with the windows closed and a fair number of accurate swats on our part, there were still mosquitoes who kept us up at night, with bites to boot in the morning.

Very convenient.Very clean and luxurious. Really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended.

The apartment Splendid Star was a great location for our stay as it was close to all the sites. It was very clean and had all the amenities to make our stay very enjoyable. Thank you.

Sorting out arrangements before our travel date was simple as Fabio or Monica always replied promptly to messages. They told us about options for travel from the airport and gave directions to the apartment. Our unfamiliarity with the city meant we got slightly lost but we were able to call the owners for clarification. The apartment itself is located a very short distance from St Mark’s Square so is a perfect base from which to explore Venice’s attractions. Security is excellent, as you have to pass through three locked doors from street level up to the apartment. As has been mentioned in other reviews, you do have to climb some narrow flights of stairs but this was a minor inconvenience, even for someone as unfit as me. The accommodation is quite small but absolutely fine for two people and was presented in a clean and tidy condition. The kitchen/living area was equipped with all necessities, the bed was very comfortable and the multi-coloured shower a novelty! If you want to watch television there are screens in the living area and bedroom with access to satellite TV and many programmes could be changed to the original English language, which was useful. The owners left fruit, milk, bread, tea, coffee and juice for us, which was a nice touch. There are no views from the apartment itself but that didn’t matter to us as all the attractions were so close. Fabio and Monica remained contactable throughout our visit and were always friendly and helpful. On the day of departure our flight was some hours after the official check-out time but the owners were flexible and gave us an option to leave our luggage in a secure area so we didn’t have to carry it around with us during our final hours of exploration. I would wholeheartedly recommend the apartment as a perfect base in Venice and Monica and Fabio did everything in their power to make our stay a pleasurable experience. Thank you!

Brilliant apartment moments from the best attractions Venice has to offer. Nicely appointed, spotlessly clean, comfortable and with all amenities you might need, this apartment ticked all the boxes. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very helpful. I'd add a sixth star if I could!

Nice place but a little small, had treats line apples, bananas, bread and milk and juice. Tough finding the place. Amazi g location.

Good location. Right in the middle of all the attractions.Clean room very comfortable.

Fantastic place - very central and easy to walk anywhere. Place was very clean. Monica and Fabio were easily available to answer our questions. Food and coffee that they left for us covered breakfasts for 4 days - very kind touch! Directions from motorboat stop to the apartment were not clear - need to be updated. Thank you and we already have plans to return!

Great location and easy to find.

Well decorated, stocked with imenities, very comfortable and classy. The host is very quick to respond to any needs you have. The apartment is on the third floor and requires climbing three flights of stairs. Was not an issue for us but might be for others.
