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.
We loved this property!!! Perfect location and whale watching from our lani was amazing. Can't wait to book another stay at The Whaler.
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.
What a great place to celebrate our honeymoon! Stunning views and location is second to none! Highly recommend!
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.
