Add dates for price

Weave down one of Venice’s many narrow streets and step into this comfortable apartment, situated right in the middle of the action. You really can’t beat this location – it’s just a minute away from Piazza San Marco, and you can access the canal directly from a shared building entrance. And although it’s missing an oven and a washing machine – and one guest will be sleeping on the extra bed in the living room – it’s a small price to pay for everything else it offers. If you’re itching for a sit-down after a big morning of walking, relax with a book or a coffee in the building’s colourful courtyard, shared with the other residents.

Home truths

  • You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.

  • At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.

  • There are no in-unit laundry facilities here.

  • Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.

  • If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and a high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.

It’s packed with monuments – it has spectacular palaces and churches, and consistently beautiful Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The central square is, unsurprisingly, an important tourist hub.
