Overall, our unit was good, and we'd stay in it again, but there are a couple of maintenance items that do need to be addressed. There are four fluorescent lights in the kitchen, and two of them are out. They could not get them working, possibly because they were too old or because the ballasts needed to be replaced.The refrigerator has no ice maker, so there's a portable one on the counter. That is the minimum level to be acceptable, but in our case, it was rapidly failing day by day. When the unit would cycle, it was terribly noisy. As our two weeks continued, it got louder & louder each day. The TV was not close at all to the ice maker, but the ice maker got so loud that we had to pause the TV until the noisiest portion of the cycle ended, and then we could resume watching. It was highly annoying. They took it away when the maintenance man came to fix it, and he said he'd bring a replacement. The replacement was also broken, so instead, they brought us a bag of ice. As I initially said, despite those two issues, we liked the unit, and we'd stay in it again.

This is prob our 8th stay at the Whaler Resort, it’s just a great spot. Spacious rooms and located on a great sandy beach with snorkeling close by. This unit met all of our needs. It hasn’t had the updates that some have had, but that in no way impacted our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed out stay in this sweet and charming apartment.
Located off the beaten path in Cannaregio, but walkable to many restaurants and shopping.
The apartment was clean and well stocked. The air conditioner worked well but we could have used a fan in the second bedroom.
Wonderful stay! We highly recommend.

Great location. Property contained all that we needed. It was a little smaller than we visualised but was an accurate description.

An awesome apartment in just the right area. Everything we needed (stayed for a month) plus a wonderful host who responded quickly. Thanks Allegra!!

We stayed at th Whaler many times and enjoy it We try to pick the unit based on location rather than other considerations. We chose 1054 based upon location, knowing that it had not been renovated. What we did not expect was the mish / mash in the kitchen. A few miixed dishes, knives that wouldn't cut butter, odds and ends of cookware. What a mess Whaler needs to clean outdoor furniture in front of building Otherwise a wonderful visit

Just loved staying in this authentic neighbourhood- can’t recommend Allegra’s place enough. Had everything we needed, was clean and very easy to find. Great communications with Allegra helped us plan and enjoy our stay. Highly recommend.

We could not have asked for more from a stay in Venice. Allegra was so helpful and responded promptly in our communications. The property is exactly as described, if not even more magical. It is somewhat far from the main sights of Venice, but since we visited in the summer, we were hoping for a quieter, more local feel, and that’s exactly what we got, and the walk/vaporetto ride to get to our daily destinations were no big deal. We loved the balconies over the canal, and watching people and boats go by! Do not hesitate to book this property - if our travels ever bring us back to Venice, we look forward to staying here again!

The apartment was in the perfect location to get out of the crowds. Tucked away but still close to everything you could need. The canal views were perfect!!! Enough room for 2 older teens and 2 adults. Would stay again.

We loved our stay here. Just the most amazing location… the loveliest area of Venice we felt, after lots of walking around the city! We adored eating our breakfasts on the balconies overlooking the canals, and we adored eating dinners in the restaurants just across the water! Allegra was so easy to communicate with and she and Luisa were accommodating with our check in and check out times. We would love to return!

The location is amazing. So many wonderful restaurants gelato bakery wine bar and so much more just across the canal. We loved this but beware this also brings loud noise. Be sure to take your earplugs. The apartment is cute but needs some TLC and could be a little cleaner. The door at the bottom of the stairs can be a real problem. Luisa met us at the apartment and she is a very sweet lady but the only thing we could understand when she was trying to give us instructions for the apartment was that she does not speak English. It was very difficult. We rented the apartment for 3 weeks and we were very disappointed when we arrived to see that we did not have a tv or radio as described in the amenities. As a matter of fact the pictures even show the tv in the living room. If we were there for a few days this wouldn’t be a problem at all but when you’re there for 3 weeks you’re not sight seeing all day everyday. Having a tv to watch would be nice on your downtime. Especially when it is clearly listed. With this being said we definitely did enjoy our stay in Venice!!

I spent four fantastic weeks in Allegra's apartment, and it's the perfect location to cover every corner of Venice, with great restaurants and bars across the canal.
All amenities were as described - great to have a washing machine - and the kitchen is well stocked and functional. It was cold during my stay so the heating was fantastic.
Comfortable beds, plenty of linen, and views from every window.
Apart from an initial struggle with the entrance gate everything about the apartment was terrific and I highly recommend this property.
