Loved the location near S. Maria de Giglio. Spacious apartment. Issues. #1. No working elevator for a 4th floor apt. Listing includes elevator. Host communicated that elevator was not operational just a few days before arrival and 3 1/2 weeks after last day to cancel and get a refund. Apt located 4 "Italian" floors up - 103 steps to climb. Having, mobility issues made my experience painful and worsened my condition. Climbing in 100 degree heat and high humidity made it very uncomfortable. #2 Mosquito haven. Host made clear there was no A/C, but there are no screens on the windows, so we were all got covered in mosquito bites. Inadequate mosquito repellant. #3. Wifi did not work most of the time. On a positive note, the host was very accomodating to check us in early and meet us after a number of delays getting vaporetto / transit tickets. The elevator not working was a critical problem for us and made for a very painful, negative experience. Once known that the elevator was not functioning we should have been given the opportunity for a full refund and find a different lodging option.

The location is perfect to explore Venice from. The owner is very communicative. The apartment is large on the top floor with views of canals and the rooftops of Venice. The space worked well for us.

First of all, the elevator stopped on the floor below the apartment. I have mobility issues and would not have rented had I known. I also ended up with numerous bites after sleeping in the bed I used. Thankfully, the rest of my family did not have a problem with their beds. Host did not meet us where he said he would and when we reached the apartment and I realized I would have to climb a steep set of stairs he shrugged and left. I would not suggest anyone stay here. I was very disappointed.

Gracious host was there to greet us upon arrival. Beautiful views outside windows. Quiet section and the lift was most appreciated to carry our luggage and ourselves to the 4 th floor. Only wish we could have stayed longer. Gratzi!

The apartment is spacious and you can feel and see the history of Venice. Great places to eat nearby or grab a boat at the Giglio dock.

This is a very nice large apartment in a great location.

It is a wonderfully airy and well appointed apartment located on the top floor. The entry is along a canal, through a common lobby, and up 4 floors on elevator. It will exceed your expectations the second the front door opens. Pietro went above and beyond on our check-in. Will stay here again and highly recommend to others.
