This is a great place to stay—within walking distance to the market area, shops, and plenty of restaurants. Our entire stay was well-organized by Porta da Mar. Barbara reached out to us in advance, provided clear directions, and made sure we arrived without any issues. Although we were initially given a room without a sea view, she was able to upgrade us at no extra cost. I highly recommend Porta da Mar to anyone visiting the area

It was wonderful! It was located one story above ground level. The stairs were easy to climb. They communicated well, greeted us upon arrival, supplied us with a few snacks, sodas, and waters. Access onto the building, the apartment entry and room was done digitally. We had a beautiful view of the ocean.

The property was great but the staff were confusing. They sent an email requesting documents to be sent in order to receive the door code. We sent them and they sent the door code and another document with the code stating that no tax was imposed during the date of our stay. After checking out we started receiving texts saying we never submitted our documents or paid the fees. They were very rude and unfriendly

Pick P[ockets came in and robbed my Husbands Wallet Cleaning Lady thought the lived thereit was a Desaster getting a Police Report and lifting the Luggage up the Stairs and dragging it back down.

Great place to stay in Venice

We stayed 5 nigths at this place, and the room was spaceous, and comfortable with a nice view towards the seaside in Venice, and the stop for the waterbus "Arsenale". The room was cleaned nicely every day, and they even gave us new waterbotles every day with no extra charged. Friendly staff and a perfect location . The location is just a litle outside the most crowded place and close to a more local area in Venice, but stil close to the city centre. Breakfast is not included, but we had breakfast in local shops/restaurants close to the place. The room, and the staff was great and we recommend the place. Even the price was nice compared to other hotels.

No podríamos haber elegido mejor lugar para quedarnos, tienen un servicio excepcional, Marybeth fue extremadamente amable, gentil y servicial, la junior suite tiene dos habitaciones en excelentes condiciones, verdaderamente están enfocados en hacer que el huésped se sienta satisfecho. Están en Arsenale a escasos metros de la estación para subirse al vaporeto, hay restaurantes alrededor y hasta un sitio de gelatos, no te fijes en que no hay elevador, en realidad la junior suite valió cada euro que pagamos. Si volviera a Venezia sin duda regresamos. ,
