Rooms with a View!
Our memories and photos of this beautiful apartment overlooking three bridges and gondola-strewn canals will have to last until we return to Venice. If it is still available, we would most certainly stay here again. After 6 nights, it felt like our home away from home and was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our host, Sebastiano, communicated clearly at all times, made check-in and check-out simple, was accessible throughout our stay and was a delight to meet in person. With the apartment situated on the second floor, we enjoyed having a view of the canals from above as well as the security of three well-locked doors between the entrance and ourselves. Well-located near enough to transportation hubs - Piazzale Roma, Ferrovia train station and several vaporetti/water taxi stops - to be convenient, but far enough away to provide a quiet haven from the tourist masses, the apartment was ideal for us. For our breakfast, we alternated between Sebastiano’s recommended neighborhood cafe, Al 133, and one of Venice’s best bakeries, Pasticceria Tonolo, both within an easy walk. We were spoiled by the many great options for take-away food, gelato, ciccheti, cocktails and dinner. Having stayed in many properties since VRBO first started, we give this one our highest recommendation!

An absolute gem of an experience!!
Our host was fantastic. He took the time to give us wonderful suggestions of places to eat, things to see, and vendors to use. He was incredibly responsive and friendly. Went above and beyond with customer service. The apartment is in a great area of town. Easily walkable to food and transportation! Lots of space for our family to have breakfast each morning. Kitchen had all the necessities we could need. Having laundry in the apartment was a nice touch. Wi-fi signal was strong. I was able to work and the kids were able to stream a movie at night. Highly suggest!!

Our Venice stay
Venice was our first stop for our 3 weeks in Italy. After our perfect stay in gaffaro apartment we can only hope the rest of our trip is as wonderful! The accommodations, location and welcoming check in was the best way to start our journey. The neighborhood was quiet and walkable to any/all Venice highlights! We highly recommend Gaffaro apartment with Sebastiano.

Wonderful stay in Venice. The apartment provides everything we need with a beautiful canal view. Plenty eateries, restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Less than 5 min walk to bus station and 10 min walk to the train station, super convenient location. The host Sebastiano is very friendly and patient.

The apartment was spotless and very well equipped with full kitchen washing machine R and ample storage and had some of the best views in Venice right from your windows.

Near entrance to la Serrinisima
This was our second stay at Gaffarro Apartment, and we are looking forward to our third. It is a 15 minute walk from Piazzale Roma, the big center for buses (As in, from the airport…) and vaparettos; maybe 20 from the train station, handy to many tourist-friendly trattorias, cafes, bakeries etc, with grocery stores fairly convenient by P Roma and Campo Santa Marguerita (great for a drink and people -watching ). This apartment is fully equipped (superb Wi-Fi), with the best set of kitchen equipment I’ve ever seen in a short-term rental. Sebastiano greeted us in the street on our arrival, was right there via email for any number of questions and special requests.

Comfortable apartment in a good location
Sebastiano is a kind and accommodating host. The apartment is lovely - each morning as I sat drinking coffee with the windows open, I enjoyed watching and listening as the neighborhood came to life, boats moving along the three canals just below the apartment. The apartment was furnished with everything I needed. The Dorsurdo location was 10 minutes walk to Piazzale Roma and vaporetto stops and many great restaurants. I definitely recommend this apartment.

Wonderful apartment in a quieter part of Venice and a 10min walk from Santa Lucia train station. Beautiful view of canal greets you in the morning and we walked to the major sights. And also a big thank you to our host Sebastiano, who is so kind and understanding when our train was delayed and still met us at the apartment at midnight. Hope to be back one day!

Venice on the Canal
This property was outstanding. The view was perfect, looking right down a canal. We can't say enough good things about it. Not realizing that Venice is a walking city, it was close to the transportation center and within walking distance from restaurants and all the transactions. The property itself was fantastic. We had a rain out day and spent it in the apartment which felt very roomy. It was well stocked for cooking which we do for some of our meals.

A great stay in Venice
We had a fantastic stay in Venice, and the historic property is ideally located for arrival, departure, and getting around in Venice on foot or by boat. And with a great view onto the canals! Sebastiano met us outside when we arrived and gave us all of the information we needed about the property and to make the most of our time in Venice. He was also available throughout our stay if we needed anything further. I would highly recommend his place!

Happy in Venice
Very nice apartment in a great location. Sebastiano greeted us there on arrival and was very helpful to us. Gave us lots of info about the apartment which was great. Maybe a short written list of recommended restaurants, cafes, bars and supermarket with addresses would have been great. He did kindly write a few things on a map for us, but addresses would have been good, as it’s normal to get lost more than once in Venice.

Great stay
I always rate my stays by 3 categories; safety, cleanliness, comfort. The apartment and area felt plenty safe. A short walk to the bus/vaporetto/train station, however, far enough away that you don't notice the crowd at the apartment. Apartment and area were clean, no complaints there. Bed was comfortable. The pull out bed is rough, but the couch itself is comfortable enough to sleep well on. Great size apartment with an amazing view. We loved people watching from the windows and taking a break from the hustle. Would definitely stay again.

The apartment was off the main strip where tourist amass, but still close to everything that you are only steps from restaurants, shopping and the bus station. Absolutely perfect flat for anyone who wants to stay right about the canals and see the life of Venice from the 2nd story balcony. Sebastiano and his sister (who lives next door) are tremendous hosts who help you navigate from the bus or train station to their flat only four blocks away. The apartment is stocked with everything you might need for a 1 night or 2 week stay in Venice, they have simply thought of everything.
