I forgot to ask at the time- but I didn’t see any shampoo or bath soap.

The location can’t be beat! Just a few blocks from the Rialto and San Marcos and adjacent to a canal, you get a real feel for Venice. Marco Polo’s residence is part of the same building in fact. Claudia was extremely attentive and has a great eye for art and attention to detail.

Not a thing!

Claudia was an amazing host. She met us at the place and was extremely welcoming and let us now anything that we would need. She even gifted a amazing bottle of bubbles. The place was exactly what the pictures were and it was incredible being right on the canal watching the boats come by. She also was able to help us book water taxis to the train station, making early morning travel a breeze. I will be back to Venice and will be back at this place!

Everything was great!

Casa Marco Polo is in the best location, walking distance to the main attractions. We traveled with our kids 7&9, and they were fascinated by the fact that the water taxi dropped us off right in front of our house when we first arrived, and we left to the airport the same way! We absolutely loved seeing the gondolas go by in the canal as we had breakfast together. So surreal and magical. The apartment itself was really comfortable for our family of 4. And our hostess Claudia was just amazing, always available to help us! Venice is just a magical place, but the location of this apartment, the comfort, and the amazing hostess made our stay absolutely unforgettable. If I come back to Venice, I would stay here again! Thank you Claudia for everything!

Nothing.

A special & delightful place to stay in Venice. Such a unique location, where you can sit & watch the streams of gondolas pass by from the comfort of your own accommodation from early morning to late at night in the beautiful patio area. Very comfortable too with plenty of space for our family of four. Claudia was a great local host giving excellent recommendations that we used & enjoyed. The water taxi was a fun & stress free way to arrive & depart from the apartment. The memories will last for a long time & we would love to return.

We can't think of anything it lacked. It had everything we needed!

This apartment and the hosts are amazing! The host met us near Rialto bridge and took us to the property. Her husband helped with our luggage, which was really nice, considering all the stairs to navigate in Venice. The host, Claudia, explained everything we needed to know about the apartment, and told us to text her if we needed anything. She communicated well, both before and during our stay. The apartment was spacious, clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. We felt completely safe in the apartment, and never heard the neighbors. It was the perfect size for our family of 3, and could easily accommodate a family of 4. With a door that separated the toilet/vanity and shower areas, the bathroom was convenient for when a couple of family members needed to get ready at the same time. I think the location was the best in Venice! We were a short walk to the Rialto Bridge/Grand Canal, yet tucked away on a quiet canal. The large private patio at the water level, with the private dock and amazing views of the gondolas and bridges, made this apartment our favorite place to stay during our journey through Rome, Venice, and Milan! Each morning, we grabbed breakfast at a nearby cafe, and ate our croissants and drank our coffee on the private patio, waving to the boats and gondolas that passed by. Claudia arranged for a Water Taxi to pick us up after our stay to take us back to the train station. We felt like celebrities leaving from our private dock, and waiving to Claudia and her husband as the Water Taxi drove off. We want to return to Venice so we can stay in this wonderful apartment again!

Nothing at all.

The apartment is dazzlingly gorgeous! Way more than the photos, which make it seem sterile—it is incredibly clean but also so elegant and though extremely spacious it somehow feels cozy. It is in the very best location, and arriving and leaving by boat is very special. Also, the building is from the 1300s, and the courtyard is so charming, but you’d never know it from the apartment.

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.

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.

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.
