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 !

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 --- 15 min from St Marco (once you have learned the way) and only a few min from the main vaporetto stop to Murano. Very quiet, lots of lovely restaurants within a few minutes walking.
Wunderbare kleine Wohnung unterm Dach, und trotzdem ist man schnell oben. Schön eingerichtet und blitzsauber. In der Küche wurde an alles Gedacht. Die Gegend ist ruhig und nicht so touristisch. Bäckerei, Obst/Gemüse, Supermercato und Restaurants gleich ums Eck. Dazu noch tolle Tipps von der netten Gastgeberin. Was will man mehr?Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.
Un séjour parfait. Logement bien placé, propre, très bien équipé pour cuisiner, fonctionnel. L’hôte, Brankica a été disponible pour l’arrivée. Je recommande fortement.
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.
Emplacement idéal à deux pas des stations de vaporetto, à 3 pas de l’église Santa Maria dei miracoli, a 5 mn du début de strada nova et proche de commerces alimentaires. Parfait pour une pause au calme. Début décembre Venise est nettement moins fréquentée que le reste de l’année. Et merci à Brankica pour ses suggestions de visites. Le jardin derrière le Redontore à la Giudecca est effectivement mémorable. On y revient l’an prochain.
We enjoyed our stay in Venice at this cute apartment. It had everything we needed for our stay and was close to cafe's, shops and the vaporetto. Highly recommend!
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.
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.
appartement propre et cocooning ;nombreux produits d entretien et quelques produits alimentaires qui peuvent dépanner en arrivant ;quartier très agréable avec notre restaurant préféré à coté .
Branika is an excellent host. She was kind enough to meet us and lead us through the maze of narrow passages to the apartment. Everything in the apartment was just like the photos.
Diese Wohnung hat alles, was wir zum Wohlfühlen in dieser schönen Lagunenstadt brauchen: eine gute und gemütliche Ausstattung mit viel Charme, gute Betten, Stauraum, Sauberkeit, eine sehr nette Vermieterin und eine Klimaanlage. Man ist mitten in einem ruhigen Wohnviertel, hat Blick auf die Dächer von Venedig, der Massentourismus ist 10 Minuten Fussweg entfernt. Ein Gemüsestand befindet sich um die Ecke, ein Coop auch. Für uns gibt es keine bessere Wohnung in Venedig, und wir hoffen auf jeden Fall wiederzukommen.
Nice affordable stay in quiet neighborhood in Venice
Brankica was very communicative, and the place had everything that we needed for our stay. It was very clean. We had some difficulty with check in but were able to communicate with our host to resolve things. This was a great deal, and we would stay here again if it's available if we're in Venice again.
Dès notre arrivée dans l'appartement nous avons été accueillis par Marina pour la remise des clefs: tout est complet dans l'appartement des ustensiles de cuisine, des serviettes, internet... L'appartement est superbement bien situé aussi bien pour découvrir Venise et ses iles que les superettes aux alentours. Nous reviendrons l'année prochaine aussi. Un grand merci pour ce magnifique séjour de 3 nuits
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.
Fantastic location and communication. Thanks again

A/C issues
I hate to have to write a negative review, but I feel it’s my responsibility to make people aware of what they’re getting themselves into.
The owner was very friendly and communication was fairly easy. There was a slight hiccup at check in where I was told I could come early, but the cleaning lady wasn’t there to let me in. Not a big deal.
When I checked in, I noticed that the apartment was very hot and the A/C wasn’t working. After messaging the owner, I was told that it had just broken and would be getting fixed after my stay and that I should just leave the windows open. Because of this, it never got very cool in the apartment. Also, tons of mosquitoes came into the apartment because there are no screens on the windows. I woke up after the first night covered in mosquito bites, and it was hard to fall asleep from all the buzzing. I don’t feel it’s fair for the owner to put on the listing that the apartment has A/C when none is provided. Had I known about this, it would have been a dealbreaker. There wasn’t even a fan to help with circulation.
The apartment also wasn’t the cleanest. There was some sort of food inside the coffeemaker, hair in the bathroom, and just a general layer of dust and grime all over.
On a positive note, the apartment is nicely decorated and in a great area. I enjoyed coming back to the peace and quiet of Cannaregio after the crowds in the rest of the city.
Unfortunately, due to the other issues I can’t recommend this place.
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!
Super appartement, bien équipé, confortable. Propriétaire sympa, tout est facile. Nous avons vécu comme de vrais vénitiens pendant 5 jours, notre séjour était idyllique ! La rue est très calme et à quelques minutes du "centre" de Venise. Je recommande 1000 fois !
Die Unterkunft liegt optimal für Ausflüge zu Fuß und mit den Wasserbussen. Alles sehr sauber und komplett ausgestattet. Die Kommunikation mit der Besitzerin war tadelloseste war immer erreichbar. Alles perfekt!
