The beds were not the most comfortable, and the floor was a little gritty. But the location of this gem of a property and everything else about it made it so worthwhile - we would definitely stay here again.

Claudia was an excellent host who assisted with organising our water taxis; to be picked up on the canal directly from the apartment was incredible! Being right on the canal and watching the water activity while sipping on a glass of wine-bliss 💫

The most incredible apartment to match a magical stay in Venice. Not only was it near to all of the tourist attractions, but the balcony/view out of the shutters and the position of the apartment was breathtaking. We rested from sightseeing by sitting and watching the gondolas go past, and it was such a novelty for our young children too. Claudia was the best host we have come across. She arranged a water taxi to and from the airport for us, which felt very luxurious. She also kept our bags for us, kept in touch via whatsapp, gave us loads of great tips and very generous offers for our stay and generally felt very much like a friend in Venice. The apartment was vast, spotlessly clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could need for a city break, and there were even extra toiletries in the bathroom- attention to detail was so appreciated. We have had the best time ever in Venice and made memories to last a lifetime. In future, we couldn’t stay anywhere else after having experienced Casa Marco Polo- it really made our trip! ❤️

Nothing, property and host were perfect.

Once I saw this apt on booking.com, I knew i had to stay there. If you see any availability, grab it! We booked this apt first before securing our flights to Venice, and Casa Marco Polo was even better than the descriptions. Tucked away in a quiet historic courtyard but steps away from the hustle and bustle, this fully renovated and beautifully decorated studio has the most dreamy canal view and the most welcoming, hospitable host Claudia. She and her husband are both kind and made us feel so at home in their city. The studio was plenty spacious for our family of four (2 adults and 2 kids). Ask Claudia to arrange a water taxi arrival for a one of a kind experience. We just left and miss Casa Marco Polo already!

This amazing apartment exceeded all our expectations. With its central location yet quiet setting right on a canal, it offers convenience and comfort. The cute terrace from where one can watch the gondolas passing by is especially charming. We also enjoyed eating in the terrace while watching the world go by. We were given a very warm welcome and well taken care of by the most friendly and welcoming host. She even coordinated a water taxi, which dropped us off right on the terrace. Can't recommend this place enough.

Nothing. Everything was great.

This is a unique and beautiful property. If you are coming to Venice, do yourself a favor and book it! The host, Claudia, is great, too.

A wonderful location with a rare dock on the canal on the gondola route. It’s the epic Venice experience. The room was big and clean and the beds were so comfortable. Claudia is a rock star host. She kindly arranged a water taxi to meet us at the train station and take us directly to the private dock at the apartment. She gave us a mini-tour of the immediate area and her gelato recommendation was spot on. Our kids loved watching the gondolas go by. This place is a 10/10.

There was nothing we didn't like.

The apartment is fabulous, we stayed with our family 2 adults 2 children. The beds were comfortable and the facilities lovely and clean and everything you need. The terrace is fabulous and a lovely place to sit and watch gondolas go by. The host Claudia was wonderful, she met us at the apartment organised us water taxi's and was so helpful, she even did a lovely video of us arriving and leaving the property by water taxi, which was such a lovely touch. The property is in a perfect spot, only a few minutes walk from all the main attractions and some lovely places for breakfast and dinner. If you'd like a wonderful venice experience, stay here.

N/A

The host was excellent and was on standby to wait for our arrival. She is very welcoming and was happy to give assistance/recommendations whenever we needed. The accommodation was perfect for the 4 of us (2 adults + 2 kids below 10) and the location is the main highlight. The accommodation is right next to a side canal and the dining area has a door opening that has a great view of the canal with gondolas passing. It is not the cheapest accommodation, but we think it is worth every penny.

Everything was amazing

It’s a beautiful and spacious apartment with full kitchen. One of the very few apartments in Venice that has an outdoor seating area with the view of the canal. We spent so much time sitting and watching the gondolas from here. Less then 5 mins walk to the Rialto, and 7 mins walk to St Marks Basilica. Very central. But very quiet. Claudia the owner was very helpful and friendly. She organised water taxi for us which brought us right to the apartment ( amazing experience). She was there to meet us at the apartment and made a beautiful video of the experience. She gave a a full guided tour of the area and called us around to show key venues in Venice. She was such a delight. She even came to farewell us and send us another beautiful video of departure. Highly recommended this place if you coming to Venice. We will be surely coming back

Absolutelly fabulous! I think this place can easily compete with super rich hotels at Grand Canal. The pier with gondolas passing by is a gem. And the owner is so helpful! Really the best accomodation in Venice. The only low point is that you don't want to leave the pier and go to the Venice streets 😀

Nothing we didn’t like!

The location, on a canal, was amazing. Within walking distance of so many sites. It was so clean, comfortable, and accommodating. Our host Claudia was super responsive and caring, and checked in to make sure all was well. She helped us with transportation and made sure that we had a wonderful stay in Venice.

We are seasoned world travelers but it was our fist trip to Italy. Collecting cash upon check in was weird, but is a local custom for additional taxes the website doesn't include. Host asked for photos of our passports to register us with Italian officials. We have never been asked to provide sensitive information like that before and it didn't feel right. We felt better about it when the Rome host also collected cash and asked for our passports to register us. Just be prepared for this unusual custom.

Property is in the perfect location, as it is a short walk to the Rialto Bridge. Our water taxi took us to the dock of the apartment and was an incredible experience from the airport. Each morning, I would sit on the dock and watch the Gondolas cruise by one after the next. Short walk to endless restaurants. Easy walk to St. Mark Square, the Grand Canal and the Marco Polo Bridge. Property is in a beautiful historic building and very clean. We enjoyed a meal at the dinning table with dozens of gondolas passing by during our meal. The perfect host and location for our first trip to Venice.

Claudia is a miracle worker. For the first time (and we travel regularly with booking) we experienced such perfect help. Thanks to her our daughters really enjoyed Venice:). The apartment is great, close to everything and yet in a quiet place, unless you open the window to the canal :), where it is wonderfully lively:). It's amazing to watch. We recommend it to everyone.

Could use more furniture to relax on other than the beds. But sitting on the dock was fantastic.

Fantastic location. Claudia was super accessible and helpful. Easy water taxi right to the room.

Can't think of anything.

Claudia was the most incredible host, helping provide local recommendations and organising travel and food as needed. The apartment is beautiful, in a wonderful setting and we were sad to leave. It was filled with ameities and Claudia was not far and on hand with anything that was needed. We were so close to everything and the balcony was an amazing treat to watch the gondolas go past.

- The location is directly situated at a canal. Unique Venice experience with the Gondolas and Water taxis passing by while enjoying the complementary sparkling sitting indoors or outdoors. - Very quiet apartment next to Marco Polo's birthplace, even though it is just a 5-minute walk from the buzzing Rialto. Highly recommended

A little on the expensive side for me with extra tax costs and getting around was really costly as well.

Great host, amazing location and very comfortable. Host recommended restaurants also amazing.

Absolutely nothing! It was all brilliant!

The apartment was large, spacious, clean and superbly located. We particularly enjoyed that it had its own dock and could sit in the dining room with the doors open, with a drink watching all the gondolas go by. The hosts were superb, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome and answer any questions we had, make recommendations and be on hand if we needed anything. Unfortunately my son required a trip to hospital whilst we were there and she even offered to come with us to help with translating etc. They arranged our transfers to and from the accommodation which meant we were able to arrive at our own dock, that was extra special. I really can’t recommend this apartment enough. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

Nothing

Claudia met us right outside the apartment at prearranged and easy to find location and gave us a demonstration on access code, using appliances, opening patio doors. Towels and linens as well as other toiletries were available. So much space and we loved the back patio. We sat out there on our second night (of three) and drank the bottle of Prosecco she gave us and chatted with the gondola riders and gondoliers. We felt like locals. Great dinner recommendations. We could not have been happier with this stay and will recommend to other friends traveling to Venice.

Great place with a private dock. The host was amazing and had a bottle of champagne for my birthday. She even gave us a quick little tour of a few blocks radius with suggestions for restaurants
