MANSARDINA - 1 min from Accademia - duplex stylish and cosy

Host’s restaurant recommendations

N/A

We were looking for family accommodation in Venice near the vaporetto stop and at a reasonable price. Apartment MANSARDINA - 1 minute from Accademia exceeded our expectations. It has an excellent location just a few steps from the Accademia and Zattere stops, in a quiet yet very central part of Venice, from where everything is easily accessible on foot and by vaporetto. The apartment is very spacious – two bedrooms, living room with dining room, kitchen, bathroom with shower, toilet and bidet and another separate toilet. Ideal for a family. Everything was very clean, functional and corresponded to the photos on Booking. We were pleased that the apartment really had everything we needed, including towels, bed linen, kitchen equipment, tea, salt and cleaning and dishwashing detergents. The apartment is also well heated, so it is suitable even outside the summer season. We were particularly impressed by the beautiful antique chest of drawers, which looked like a museum piece, as well as the well-chosen literature about Venetian and Italian artists. The only "exercise" is climbing to the 3rd floor, but the reward is a beautiful attic apartment with several romantic views of the Venetian alleys and the roofs of the surrounding houses. One of the most beautiful views is even from the shower, so you can enjoy not only the bath, but also the atmosphere as if from a postcard. The common areas are clean and the entire house is well maintained. We also really appreciated the atmosphere of the apartment, as well as the extremely helpful owner Corinne, who takes great care not only of the Mansarda apartment, but also of her guests. We definitely recommend the accommodation. Ivan

The property was superbly located for our needs, both for access to the main sights and yet generally peaceful. The apartment was clean and tidy.

Unfortunately the wifi was inoperable during the entire duration of our stay and the oven was not working (though not an issue for us)

Great location. Easy to find and access.

Description said the apartment has 2 bathrooms but they’re only one bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet. The second « bathroom » had one toilet that didn’t flush properly and a sink. The description should « one and a half bathroom ». The twin beds were uncomfortable and made for kids, not adults. Overall, it is not a suitable place for 4 adults, but better suited for a couple with two pre-teen kids. The stairs are too open and dangerous for small children.
