You cannot beat the location, just start exploring before 930am otherwise the tourists will make movement hard. Nearby grocery stores and Drogeries (wine and gourmet shops) meant eating in was inexpensive and a delight.
This apartment met all our requirements. Two of us stayed there for two weeks and found it very comfortable. There was a very nice bathroom, and the kitchen was very adequate. The location is near the canal, bridge, and vaporetto stops. It was a short walk to San Marco and other places we wanted to visit.It was easy to work with the owner on several reservation changes. Our stay was a good value for the price we paid! We highly recommend this property.
We had very comfortable stay in the flat, the location is unbeatable, wifi strong and reliable. It has 2 heaters and we were very warm. The unit has everything we needed and more. The communication with the host was great and we could check in earlier, much appreciated.
The apartment was great value for money in an amazing location by the Rialto bridge which meant I didn't get lost too much! It was thrilling being right beside the canal and hearing and seeing all the comings and goings. The apartment was clean and had everything I needed. Luckily the owner sent a friend to meet me from the vaporetto stop to help find it for the first time. Highly recommended!
It is situated close to all the sites, but if the water bus isn’t running it’s a 29 min walk from the train station. The apartment is spacious and has all the necessities, but gives the vibe of a boys college apartment. Is right off a canal, which is fun, but the canal is busy.

A great time was had. Rialto bridge a block away. Gondoliers outside our window. Barbara, a friend of Paola's showed us the apartment. She was very nice We really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Paola.
I adored staying at Paola's apartment. It really felt like a home from home and was larger than I thought it was from the photos on VRBO. One of things from a previous review that enticed me to book was the mention of watching gondola's pass by out the window and it was one of the charms of staying in the property. Loved it. It is very central and close to Rialto Bridge. Obviously being central means there can be a bit of noise but I think all the other aspects makes up for this. I found Paola and Barbara very helpful and kind. I would be very happy to stay here again.
A very comfortable apartment, quite near the Rialto bridge. I still can't find my way to St. Marks Square from there, but everytime I got lost I discovered a new area. That's a Venice thing. I greatly enjoyed sitting in the windowsill in the afternoons, chatting with the tourists passing by in the gondolas. Didn't use much of the kitchen, but the wash machine was handy. Water was always hot in the sinks and shower. Bed was very comfortable. TV has a lot of channels, though none I could find in English. The WiFi substituted for that.
Nice clean appartment right on the canal next to Rialto bridge making it very easy to go to any place in Venice and find the way back. Check in and communication was good. Barbara was great, she even met us near vaporetto stop and led us to the place. The apartment was well stocked. No complains.
2 issues we had: 1. this is old house and you can not have too many electrical appliances working at the same time. There are switches in the hall you have to turn on if lights go out.
2. Key to the apartment not always work. Sometimes you have to try multiple times. Might just need some maintenance.
These were minor inconviniences.
I would definitely recommend this place and would stay again if I am back in Venice.
We loved our stay at Paola's apartment! The location can't be beat--3 minute walk to the Rialto Bridge where you can catch a vaparetto to go (almost) anywhere! The bed was comfortable, the air conditioner worked great (had to replace batteries for the remote during our stay, but batteries were in a drawer), plenty of linens--albeit slightly older than what one might expect in a hotel, but in good condition, communication with Paola was excellent on every occasion when I reached out, and the size of the apartment felt more spacious than what we were expecting from the pictures.
The only downsides: 1) We decided to stay in and cook dinner one night and the only 2 knives were rather dull and difficult to slice vegetables and bread; 2) There was no lid for the large pasta pot (just an FYI) ; 3) The small refrigerator was adequate for our stay but the freezer could use a defrosting so that ice can be made and 4) We couldn't get the TV to turn on (it might have been something we weren't doing right...not sure) but hey, who comes to Venice to watch TV anyway, right?!?
Overall, though, we gave our review 5 stars because we had a GREAT experience in our first (but hopefully not our last) visit to Venice. As mentioned in other reviews, the apartment's location on a small canal is incredible...felt as if we could've reached down and snatched the hat off the head of a passing gondolier! Thank you, Paola, for everything! I would absolutely stay here again!!!
Alles bestens: Lage, Kommunikation und Freundlichkeit
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. die Wohnung war sauber und sehr gemütlich. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern im Vorfeld und vor Ort war herzlich, hilfsbereit und unkompliziert. Alles bestens!
Très bel appartement fonctionnel idéalement situé près du Rialto, donnant sur un canal. A les inconvénients de ses avantages : un peu humide, et bruyant certains matins vers 7h-7h30 (déchargement de livraisons depuis le canal). Échanges très fluides avec l’amie de la propriétaire qui nous a accueillis et donné d’excellentes recommandations pour notre séjour.

im winter nicht zu empfehlen
sehr günstige lage: 3 minuten zur haltestelle rialto, 15 minuten bis fondamente nove. sehr charmant der blick aus den fenstern - direkt darunter ist ein kanal mit regem gondel- und sonstigem bootsverkehr.
die wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet, was für einen aufenthalt nötig ist.
sie ist jedoch nicht genügend beheizbar. die klimaanlage hat auch eine funktion als heizung. das ist mit einem hohen geräuschpegel verbunden. nach mehreren stunden betrieb stieg dann die raumtemperatur von 15 auf 17 grad. mein aufenthalt von vier wochen im januar war dadurch erheblich beeinträchtigt. die reklamation hat zu keiner verbesserung geführt.
Paula is a great communicator and she organised for someone (Barbara) to meet us at the water bus station at Rialto. The apartment is so close to Rialto Bridge (2 mins walk) and yet out of the way enough to escape foot traffic and noise. Paula had everything we needed for our stay in terms of kitchen, bathroom, living space, bedding. We could access views of the canal from 3 windows in the apartment. The sofa beds are VERY comfortable. The washing machine came in very handy. The apartment is decorated with a warm feel, books to read, decorations to look at and you feel like you are experiencing living as a Venetian person would (obviously though we were tourists). Barbara told us everything we needed to know and gave great suggestions on where to eat and what things we should do whilst visiting. My tip..
We got up around 6-630am....wandered around and got great photos of the best sites with very few people to deal with.
Overall we had a wonderful 3 days and always felt special to make it back to the apartment as it felt like our home, we treated it as such (way better experience than a hotel in my opinion). It felt like we were borrowing an Italian cousins place for a few days. Thanks for everything Paula. Thanks too to Barbara for her time, warmth and information.
It was so nice to have a convenient location that was still ‘far from the madding crowd.’ Being able to look out at the gondolas passing on the canal was magical.
Einfach und gemütlich, in der Mitte Venedigs, mit Kanalblick
Einfache, aber gemütliche Wohnung mit zwei Zimmern, gleich am Kanal in der Nähe der Rialtobrücke.
Vielen Dank für den netten Aufenthalt. Wir haben es sehr genossen in dieser kleinen Wohnung, die mit allem ausgestattet ist, was man braucht für ein paar Tage unser Zu Hause in Venedig zu finden und würden für ein nächstes Mal wieder hier einziehen wollen.

Emplacement central
Très bien situé dans le cœur de Venise permettant d' approcher la vie quotidienne dans ses quartiers anciens. Ne pas oublier que l'étroitesse des rues rend les appartements peu lumineux.
L'équipement ménager de l'appartement est très limité et méritera: mini cafetière, pas de four micro onde ou autre

Best Location with a few drawbacks
Clean, bed was not made up, Alberto met us at the Rialto Vaparetto stop and showed us the way to the apartment. Gave us some good tips on where to eat. No toaster or microwave. Bathroom very small. Don't have stove and AC on at the same time or it trips the electric breakers necessitating a short trip out the door down the stairs to reset it. Apt. Is up about 12 steps. TV did not work. But location is perfect for exploring Venice from Rialto Vaparetto stop. Beds are futons quite low to the floor. Charming gondolas flowing past the windows. Not much noise from canal. AC works well.
