Seriously, the property is even nicer than the ad! Spacious, well appointed, marble floors and everything you need to thrive. The location and view are fantastic. Close to train, bus, water taxi, and everything in the Accademia quadrant. Sebastiano was a consummate host, met us at check in, gave us great local tips and helped us in a jam.

Great apartment with views of the canal from your window. Very comfortable and clean with a large kitchen and dining area, large bedroom and bathroom as well. Sebastiano met us upon arrival and took us up to the apartment, explained everything and then took the time to show us places to visit and eat on a map. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We spent four days in Venice, staying at Sebastiano’s VRBO. Sebastiano communicated with us very clearly prior to our check-in, giving us great advice on how to get to his location. He met us at the apartment and answered all of our questions about Venice, what to do, what not to do, and must do. This included restaurants to eat at, and things to be aware of. His hospitality was fantastic. We wish we could’ve stayed longer. The pictures in the VRBO ad are what you get when you arrive at the apartment.

Sebastiano was a very welcoming, responsive, and helpful host. We loved opening the windows every day and looking onto the canals. The location is quieter than the hustle and bustle of the Grand Canal and we enjoyed it more. We felt safe and we enjoyed coming back to it each day. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

We could not have been happier staying in Sebastiono’s apartment. The kitchen had everything we needed and we cooked a few dinners there. The bed was very comfortable, as is the couch in the living room area. The view of the canals is wonderful from the dining table. We walked to most places but could also easily hop on the vaporetto when we wanted to go further or just enjoy the Grand Canal.

The kitchen had everything we needed - gas stove and oven worked well ( though took us a little while to understand the dials on the oven so simple instruction sheet would help). Full size dishwasher meant we could minimise washing up and plenty of crockery etc. Sofa bed was comfortable enough and the apartment was warm. Location was great for vaporetti and for walking to sights
