Experience Venice like the venetian live it day by day !

In this pretty apartment with nice view on the rooftops of Venice You can discover the real venetian life. Most of the venetians do not have their house at the Canal Grande. Narrow streets and the neighbours close up to You. Try this unique and fascinating way of living in Venice just a few steps away from the touristic sightseeings.

Rialto bridge and market close up, museum like Ca D’Oro, churches like the fine renaissance church Santa Maria dei Miracoli just round the corner.
And for a trip to Murano to admire the glass blowers working, take the vaporetto from the close jetty of Fondamenta Nuove.

Welcome to the Loft Contarena !

Great location!

This loft apartment was so cute. In a quiet courtyard. Our host was so nice and very helpful. It was equipped with all the necessities. Close to everything. One downside...several stairs for us older folks! Otherwise

Easy acess to public transport and restaurants

3rd floor walkup with easy acess to the ferry from the airport and a short walk from sightseeing areas and close to quiet local resturants, La Colonna was really good and I'd say Panificio Crosera is about as authentic as you can get.

Charming and quiet

This place was very comfortable, very clean, and in a great location. We felt safe walking in the evenings. The stairs are a bit tight and steep going up with luggage, but overall a great place. Would stay here again.

Fabulous Location

One of the things that made this loft apartment stand out for me was the location. It was so easy to get to everywhere I wanted to visit from there! And at the same time, it felt like I was getting a taste of what living in Venice is really like. A wonderful experience.

Perfect location

The apartment had everything we needed. It was in a lovely quiet location but really handy for the vaporetto and a short walk to the Rialto Bridge. We followed Brankica’s recommendation and ate nearby at the Osteria alla Frasca. We had a delicious meal in this lovely small restaurant. We would definitely return.

Wonderful Venice area

Brankica was SO helpful, for the months in advance and especially the day of arrival when overheated travelers struggled with a new country and language and new transportation by water bus then walking the narrow streets. Thank you for having someone there to greet us. Location in Cannaregio was great, out of the super busy areas but easy to walk anywhere. Also two great dinner recommendations. We'd do it again gladly.

After traveling staying in a place like home was a nice peaceful change. The owner was EXTREMELY HELPFUL in giving directions to these two 60 plus travelers to locate the place. Very well located to get to anywhere you need all the while away from the "tourist" area for peace and quiet.

Vacation in Venice

Really enjoyed my stay. The apartment had all the amenities and was comfortable. It was close to transportation and not a far walk to major attractions, but it was far enough away so it was quiet. If I find myself back in Venice I would definitely stay again and I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Venice.

Cozy and very quiet area in walking distance to historic sites and good dining. I visited for the Biennale and was easily able to walk to and from the Giardini each day. The area right around the apartment is not crowded with tourists at all, making it a very nice place to come back to after a busy day out!

Honeymoon hit

The hosts were incredibly gracious- as soon as they knew when and how we were arriving they sent very detailed directions on how to get to the apartment. The greeting and introduction were great! The apartment was exactly as pictured online!! Perfect for my new husband and I as we navigated the streets and canals of Venice. We would absolutely stay here again!

Comfortable and Welcoming Loft for two walkers

Brankica was very fast to respond with check in instructions and directions. Victoria was very welcoming upon check in and helped us locate the front door. The property is an easy climb up 2-3 flights of steps which provides nice morning sun and quiet all times of day. The fun cow print and artwork provided lots of character. The kitchen was well stocked with dishwater and pantry staples. The bed was very comfortable. The neighborhood is away from the crowds and features a few local restaurants, and the stroll to the active areas of Venice is a great way to transition to the busier areas. The waterbus station is also very close and makes getting to and from the S Lucia train station very easy. Overall, this is a very cozy, comfortable, and clean Venice getaway for a few nights made for people that want to explore the city on foot.

Purple

This apartment was so well stocked with kitchen ware! I loved the many purple utensils and the cow print refrigerator!! The location was also perfect! I even loved taking the garbage out to the trash collectors, they were SO nice! We also appreciated the host turning on the AC for us. It was warm, and we could not open the windows because of mosquitos. We would have preferred opening the windows to sleep, but you can't avoid nature!

Great loft to live like a local

The loft apartment was as described. It was clean, the bed comfortable, and pillows were good. The place is very quiet! The kettle was appreciated for morning coffee. There was a notebook with wifi info, and a page of info on trash & recycling. Very particular instructions. We recycle as well, but there were many instructions. We took trash out and put in bins daily, but did leave some in receptacle the day we left. Hopefully we did it right! We tried to leave it clean, except for dirty towels. There was a washer, but it was all in Italian, and i had no idea which buttons to push, otherwise we might have washed all the towels. Maybe a tip for host, to leave instructions for washer in english, also contact or emergency information, or phone number in that book. The host gave us a map, but it was difficult to find. Thank goodness she was watching for us, and yelled out a window. The number above the door of the building where we entered was faded and not readable. It needs repainted. There are also many narrow steep stairs, so you need to be able to carry your luggage up. Overall this was a wonderful location and place to stay. We stayed 6 nights and walked everywhere. Thank you Branika! We enjoyed our stay!
