It’s in a residential neighbourhood. Super convenient. If not travelling with many suitcases, it is just 10mins walk from Santa Lucia Station (one bridge crossing with ramp).
It is an old building, so don’t expect too fancy design. But it is good enough for the stay and convenient to access everywhere in Venice.

The location of the property is great. It was a little confusing finding it but not too bad. The bed and pullout couch were comfortable.
The bathroom had mold everywhere. It didn’t seem like the apartment was cleaned in quite some time. The WiFi signal was poor and it barely reached the bedroom. Doesn’t even make it to the living room.

The rooms were too dark. Shower filled up with water quickly. The walls and ceiling looked old because of chipped paint or dust, not sure which. Very close to the train station and one of the main streets. Fridge was good. The beds were uncomfortable.
We stayed three nights there with my family of 4. As soon as we checked in, we noticed there were some issues with the apartment but the staff was responsive and did send maintenance people over the next day. Nothing was resolved but the staff tried again and sent the maintenance guys back. Not everything was resolved but at least they installed a new washing machine for us so that we could do some laundry the last night. Please read the most recent reviews of other guests before you book the place. I have to say the location is great and it would have been better if the apartment was more nicely maintained.

No big complaints.
Great location to stay at. Quiet at night. But close to things. The washing machine was great and the drying lines outside. We got some clothes pins because there weren’t any there.
The shower door needs to be replaced (it’s kinda nonexistent)
But overall we were very happy with the stay for the money. 2 bedrooms. Room for 5 to sleep if needed. Kitchen with utensils and such. And a refrigerator with freezer. And a supermarket less then a mile away (and a great fruit stand right outside the alley)
Again. Overall. Great stay. Place needs a little love here and there like the shower and some floor repair. But well worth it.
I was disappointed by the quality of the accommodation. Moisture stains are everywhere, the lights flickered regularly, and we didn't even have a proper duvet cover (there was a sheet underneath, and a sheet on top of the duvet instead).
Definitly does not look nearly as clean as the pictures show.
The apartment does, however, have the equipment indicated.

The apartment is in a great area - that is the main drawcard. It is fairly neat, but it needs quite a bit of work. You get what you pay for in this area I suppose. The handrail leading up to the apartment is broken, I had to stick it back into the wall.
There are a lot of steps so make sure you can carry your luggage up there. The kitchen was very adequate to cook meals in and there are two great supermarkets close by.
The air conditioner in the second room was not working and wiry Italy’s record heatwave, it was quite unbearable for my daughter. They said they would send a maintenance person on the second day but no one appeared to have come.
As stated earlier, the location is fantastic, so I would recommend it purely on that basis alone.

DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE - MOLD
DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE
We booked this accommodation because it looked fresh and pleasant in the photos. Upon arrival, we were shocked to find the bedrooms full of mold – a serious health hazard. We immediately contacted Hotels.com, but they refused to refund us because the hotel did not approve it.
Despite having clear evidence that the property does not match its description, Hotels.com refuses to refund money or remove it from their platform. This is unacceptable and shows a complete lack of responsibility toward their customers.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I was concerned about some of the recent reviews, as it talked about mold, and I somewhat expected it in the water closet because it is very humid in Venice, however, there was mold in every room. We were in the Ormiso apartment since we had 4 people in our party. There was also an abundance of mosquitoes in the apartment. Likely still due to the humidity, which comes with a territory so I can be understanding of that. The apartment smelled of a mildew/moldy odor, much like a wet, dank basement. The AC helped to cool off the apartment, so that was a plus. It’s also very walkable and Marco was very helpful to get into the apartment. I believe if the room were cleaned and the mold issue addressed, this would be a safe and wonderful stay for families.

Not very comfortable for a family.
This was the final stop on our family's Italy vacation and definitely the least enjoyable of our rentals. The building itself is not well maintained - the front door handle continually fell off when we tried to exit the building, there were a lot of cobwebs and bugs inside the main entrance, the staircase was dingy with very old, dirty carpet and the key lockbox didn't work.
The unit itself was not very comfortable. The sofa bed in the kitchen didn't pull out (and was very dirty inside when we tried to wrestle it open) and the main bedroom mattress was very thin, lumpy and unsupportive.
There was not as much decor in this apartment as the others that are pictured here from the same building, and the space felt very plain and uninviting. We also got bitten by mosquitos while inside the unit.
We did have a good working a/c, as well as hot water for the shower. And we were able to use the kitchen to make breakfast in the morning.
Would not recommend this apartment.
