they place was huge alot of rooms 6 bedrooms and we were a family of 5, and it had 2 washrooms,
only problem with the place no ac, one room had ac good so we all kinda slept in there, other area's were way to hot and even it rained on our trip and was cool outside but the inside was terrible, also we had 5 suitcases and omg it was a pain walking up those stairs, i wish they had an elevator its a must in europe if you have lots of luggage, but even walking up with the heat in the building its rough one,

Great Location and Spacious, But Needs Better Upkeep
The location of this apartment was absolutely 5 stars—very easy to find and perfectly situated for exploring Venice. The space was large, with generous closet space, a nice balcony for drying clothes, and in-unit laundry facilities we really appreciated as a family of four.
That said, a few issues made the stay less comfortable than it could have been. Only one roll of toilet paper and one paper towel roll were provided for a four-night stay, so we had to buy basic supplies ourselves. Luckily, the apartment is close to a market, which made that manageable.
There were also no toiletries provided—no shampoo, body wash, or even hand soap. Most concerning was a significant ANT problem; we ended up purchasing ant traps, which unfortunately was a deal breaker for us. The apartment could also use a deep cleaning.
With some extra attention to cleanliness, basic provisions, and pest control, this could be a wonderful place to stay. As it stands, the location and layout were great, but the upkeep didn’t meet expectations.

This property was ok for Venice. We have visited a lot of times and stayed in better and worse places. The accommodation was fairly clean although not spotless and the beds were comfy. Water pressure was poor as was amount of hot water (barely any in fact) and there was no kettle to make a hot drink. I did ask for one but was told one wasn’t provided. In order to make a hot drink you needed to use a cooking pot with metal handles (not a saucepan as there wasn’t one of those either). Use a bathroom towel to take it off the hob to avoid burning yourself and then attempt to pour boiling water into a cup. It was a ridiculous situation.
The location was good but the bar behind tipped empty bottles into the bin every night between 12 midnight and 1 am waking everyone up.
There were 3 signs in the property telling us about a gift basket of local artisan products as a welcome gift which we didn’t receive and were told “we no longer do this”. Take the information away then if you aren’t doing it
Whilst the accommodation was average overall I think the service from Team Venezia was poor.

The apartment is very big with three bedrooms and plenty of beds. Very good for a family or group. Very limited furniture (only a table with chairs and lots of beds with closets). The property is old but well kept. Met the neighbors on the 4th floor who told us to be quiet after 11pm. Location is great within walking distance of the Doge's Palace and St. Mark Basilica.

Excellent location.
Easy checkin process.
However the property manager was not reachable when we raised concern that we were missing blankets in the kids bedroom after first night. So kids slept without blanket on 2nd night as well.

The apartment was spacious and in a good area 2 minutes from Rialto Bridge. But we didn’t like the condition of the building, it was really old and worn down. Yes Venice is an ancient city, but the building should be in better condition, especially for the price per night that we paid. The apt was on a 5th floor with no elevator. The shower was horrible, we couldn’t get consistent hot water, but the AC was good. I wouldn’t stay here again, but if you have a big group to share the expense, it may work for you.

The experiemce that we had at the apartment, since thursday we told them the ac was broken and nothing was done about it, there was only ac in 2 rooms where it doesnt cool after going up 90 stairs that were crooked the living room amd kitchen smelled like strong cigarettes and it was almost impossible to be on that side of the apartment. I do t recommend this to anyone.

This company doesn’t deserve a star at all. We stayed at their apartment and suffered from bed bug bites. I reported the incident to them and didn’t get any reply at all. We booked through Expedia and were told that they denied the allegations. I sent them all the videos (with the room itself) and photos with time and location stamp but still they denied it. Later I found reviews from different sites with the same issues. The place is dirty and inhabitable and they still get away with it. Avoid it at all cost. I’m doing this review so it won’t happen to somebody else. What we have experienced is very unhealthy and traumatic.

It is located in the heart of Venice. There was plenty of space in the unit. The beds were comfortable. In the unit overview, it was communicated that it was an upstairs unit (2nd floor) and no elevator is available so we were aware of that, however, we were not aware that what Americans consider levels of floors is different from Italy's view. To us, the unit was on the 5th floor and that was alot of stairs to climb. Also, this unit was the top floor so it was the unit that got all the trapped heat and humidity. It was very hot and uncomfortable. The air conditioning units inside the property barely made a dent in cooling the place downThe windows could not be left open at night to help cool the place down because there were so many mosquitoes and were getting bites. The unit does have a washer, which we appreciated, but there was no way to properly air dry the clothes. The humidity inside the unit made it difficult to dry out the clothes. There was no roof access to lines or there weren't any provided line dry outside windows. Check-in was fairly easy. Loved the codes making it easy to unlock doors. Part of checking in prior to getting codes required filling out forms online. I wasn't too comfortable having to provide personal information through an online form that didn't seem secure.
These are the reasons that were weighed in when considering how to rate our stay.

Ce qui est appréciable est la taille de l'appartement qui est spacieux et agréable ainsi que sa situation en centre ville.
Ce qui ne l'est pas est qu'il y a très peu d'accessoire dans la cuisine: pas de cafetière, pas de bouilloire, le lave vaisselle ne fonctionne pas, pas de pèle avec le balai, aspirateur bouché, des remontées d'odeur d’égout dans la salle de bain, aucun produit de nettoyage, aucune consigne.
Pas d'accueil physique donc communication difficile.
L'amélioration pourrait être simple...

Great stay
Apartment was modern and in a great location. Despite being on a busy street it was very quiet. Less than a minute walk from Rialto bridge. Lots of shops and restaurants literally outside.
Only slight negative was the second bedroom was small, so it did sleep 2 but the pullout bed left hardly any space in the room so my daughter slept on the sofa bed.
Would stay again.

The location was wouldn't be more perfect! The apartment is in the shopping street. Restaurants, cafes, markets... you can find them all in 5 minutes. The apartment was so modern and big. Everything we need was available. There are microwave, kettle, washing machine and dishwasher. We are very happy to stayed San Marco Penthouse.
The only thing that I don't like about San Marco Penthouse is, they want to 10 euro per each luggage to store your luggages. The reception is at Piazzale Rome and our apartment is in the Mercaria II Aprile and they also want extra money for carry your luggages to your apartment. These are made me think that they are a bit mercanary.
