This was a wonderful place to stay. Our host communicated and helped us throughout our visit. Check in was easy, but despite Paola's excellent directions, the water taxi from the airport did not drop us at the right place. She had explained Google maps was not helpful but we were able to find the apartment by using Apple Maps. We were able to store our luggage and just explore until it was time to check in. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms (and the AC!) Were very welcomed by my grown sons and my husband. There was room to spread out for my family of five and the views from the windows were beautiful. When our boat tour suddenly cancelled, our hostess offered us several other boating options even though this was no fault of hers! There were guidebooks, maps and restaurant suggestions at the apartment. When it came time to leave she even booked a taxi for us back to the airport. That one picked us up (on time!) where we should have been dropped off to start with. It was literally outside our door. A fabulous end to a fabulous stay!

Paola our host was great. She went above and beyond what was expected. The apartment was equipped with everything you would need. Including several different types of coffee machines, a kettle and teapot and soda stream. The apartment was immaculately clean . All amenities were supplied. The location was central to so many attractions in the area. If you are looking for superior accommodation in Venice..this is the place. No hesitation would return in a heartbeat. What a great experience.. Thanks.

Paola’s place was perfect for 6 adults and an infant. Paula was so attentive! From her great responsiveness on email in English to meeting us at the water taxi stop in front of her place to sitting with us to answer all our questions to booking water taxis for us and providing a crib and diapers, Paula was a wonderful host. Her place is upscale, modern and more spacious than we expected. Everything was clean and functional. If you want to cook, the place has everything. Best of all was the place’s proximity to everything on San Marco. You are literally right there. We loved it!

Great place right next to next to St. Mark’s Square. Several places to eat and shop nearby. The apartment has great charm and is very well laid out. Everything worked well and we felt very safe. Just a heads up, stand up shower is small, and that’s Europe for you. So nice to watch and hear the gondola’s passing by our windows. Paola was the BEST host we have ever encountered. She was so kind and helpful. We would gladly stay here again in the future.

We loved our stay in Venice. The apartment is a perfect location, so close to all the major sites. Paola is very helpful and communicates quickly. You can watch the gondola’s float by from the kitchen and a bedroom window and the beds!!! The most comfortable beds we stayed in our entire trip to Italy. I highly recommend this apartment

I have nothing bad to say, the check in was easy, the check out was easy, the location is amazing. The beds are comfortable!
Paola was super helpful and also helped us with water taxi arrangements when we left. This was very useful and made everything easy.
Lots of space, we stayed as a family of 6 and had a great time.
Washer and dryer worked great as well which was a plus. Would definitely stay here again!

Very convenient and close to San Marco.
Lovely apartment with water taxi landing just steps from the front door. Paola organized private water taxis to take us to the apartment and to the Venice airport.

Really enjoyed our wonderful stay at this flat, right near St. Marks square in Venice. The host was fanastic! She helped us arrange water taxi service from the train station on arrival, and an early morning departure to the airport. The water taxi literally takes to the doorstep of this rental. It's unbelievable. She also arranged dinner for us at a nearby locale that was fantastic. You are just steps from St. Marks, minutes from more cafes and restaruants than you can shake a stick at, and 5-10 min walk from the major bridges and the rest of Venice. The flat itself was fantastic, 3 large bedrooms with comfy beds and pillows. We stayed in March, so no need for heat or AC - but both looked great. Lots of windows (limited views) so great ventilation. Bathrooms were pristine and stocked. Kitchen had everything, although we ate out all the time because the food is so good. Stayed with family (wife + 2 teenagers in their own rooms). Would 100% stay again. Thanks for the memories!

We spent a week in this splendid apartment. Perfection! Beautiful, spacious, nicely furnished, comfortable, well-located. The building is just off a small canal in a quiet neighborhood. Lots of room and rooms. Tasteful furniture, neither antique Venetian nor Ikea-like; the pictures are accurate. Beds are fine, living room furniture inviting, nothing is missing by way of equipment. Basics like salt, olive oil, coffee present in abundance. (Well equipped kitchen; upon our exotic request for a truffle slicer, one was provided within hours.) Communication with Paola the owner was smooth and beyond helpful. The restaurant suggestions were spot on- don’t miss out the nearest to the apartment, Osteria Enoteca de San Marco. Quiet, gondolas gliding past the kitchen window, yet near to the bustle of San Marco. For us, an ideal location. Paola left for her own travels after our arrival but left us in the capable hands of Rosaria. She proved a responsive crisis manager when we stupidly locked ourselves out. (Hint, at the external door, lock the waist-high lock only, avoid using the higher one.) The apartment exceeded all my expectations. Do not think twice; this is the place to stay in Venice. I would go back in a heartbeat.

This was our trip of our lifetime. Our first time to Venice and wanted everything to be perfect. Staying here and having Paola as our host was amazing. She met us on our arrival and when we had any questions she was there to guide us. On top of all that the place was “home” for us during our stay.

First of all, Paola is a fantastic host. You could not ask for more. She arranged a private taxi for us from the airport to her apartment (and then back to the airport when we left), suggested restaurants, local specialties, and was always available via WhatsApp. The apartment itself is very spacious, comfortable, elegant and spotless. Although it is located very close to San Marco (less than five-minute walk) you would never know it. The immediate neighborhood is quiet, charming and tourist-free (except for us!) Also very easy walking to restaurants, churches, grocery, the Venice Biennale sites (which is why we were in Venice). We had a wonderful trip and this superb apartment and host were a big part of it.

Highly recommend
Had a wonderful stay. We were a group of 5 adults and a teenager and it was great. Paola greeted us at the door with a smile and explained everything starting from a location, suggestions and just perfect advice on many things. The apt was spacious, very clean, well decorated and not cluttered. Kitchen had everything and more for you to prep meals, the closest grocery store is only 5 min away. The location is faboulos, you will be so close to st marks square and more, but on a quiet street hidden away with your own canal access.
Paola also helped us with a return journey organization. Thank you so much!

Paola, the property owner, is extremely efficient and answered all questions and requests quickly! She arranged a water taxi to meet us at the airport and as our were canceled and re-scheduled she informed the taxi of all our changes. The apartment is great: Beds are comfortable, rooms are large, location is wonderful. We would all definitely stay there again

A great rental in a convenient location, especially for first time visitors. The place is spacious, clean, and fully equipped. Having a washer and dryer was definitely a plus, especially with kids! Communication with Paola was great. We also really enjoyed touring the city with her friend Luigina who is extremely knowledgeable and made it fun for the whole family.

The apartment was nestled in a small back street. It was beautifully decorated, air conditioned, spacious, and near to Piazza San Marco, the perfect spot to be in Venice. It had everything we needed and the host was very easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend this place!

A great stay all around. Hosts were beyond helpful in getting us to the apartment - which was much appreciated.
The apartment itself was great - lots of space, great kitchen and the AC worked well which was very important because it was so hot in Venice.

Spectacular!
This property is in pristine condition and is a 2-3 minute walk from everything you might want to do in Venice. Completely renovated and spacious. The property owner Paola was a dream to work with. We worked with Rosanna while we were in Venice and she was excellent. She and Paola even arranged for water taxi service upon arrival and departure. If this property is available grab it. Great value and top notch!

Amazing Stay
This property has it all. It is clean, beautiful, full of charm, in an amazing location, and Paola is an amazing host who went above and beyond during our stay. I really can't recommend this place enough and if we ever go back to Venice, I would stay at this place or another property hosted by Paola in a heartbeat.

Astounding apartment near San Marco
Six of us stayed in this apartment and all agreed this was the best accommodation of our vacation—and the competition was stiff! Great layout, magical location (even for Venice!) and everything was clean and beautiful. The kitchen was well-appointed and the furnishings throughout luxurious. Paola was very responsive and we appreciated all the help she gave us. We didn’t want to leave! We stayed five days here and I would come back just to stay here again. Highly recommend this listing.

The Right Choice in Venice
This accommodation is a real jewel because it has a terrific location in Venice, direct access to water taxi service, a modern and tasteful décor and best of all, the owner is very hospitable in helping arrange transport, advising on restaurants and explaining how everything in the apartment works…and it all works. Good hot water, a nice laundry, a good dishwasher and absolutely everything in cookware one could need. Getting to the apartment from the airport or the train station is surprisingly easy – just ask Paola for help in arranging a water taxi and you’ll be taken directly to the quay 50’ from the front door. It's a 30-minute ride from the train station or 40 minutes from the airport. The water taxis are fast and enclosed so weather isn’t a problem and the operators help get the luggage in and out of the boat so you don’t have to struggle. We knew the instant we met Paola and walked in the door that we had a winner and we were not disappointed.

Perfect for us - can't wait to come back
Paola was the perfect host from arranging our water taxi transport from the airport to the apartment and providing lots of information for our stay to providing a beautiful spacious clean apartment for our first stop in Italy. Highly recommended.

San Marco Apartment- Paola ‘s Perfect Place
Everything was perfect. Rosanna, Paola’s friend met us at the waterbus stop, and escorted us to the apartment, pointing out useful places, etc., on the way. The apartment was well stocked, and perfectly appointed. Very comfortable spaces, and plenty of room for the 6 of us. The two children enjoyed having their own room with twin beds and a desk with art supplies, where they enjoyed sketching their memories in the evenings.
We highly recommend Paola as a host, and her beautiful place, we could not have asked for more.
