Unbelievably friendly and warm staff who gladly gave expert travel advice and recommendations that only a Roman would normally be privy to. - Loic Diels
I LOVE this website and will gladly recommend it to anyone headed this way. Nothing disappointed us! - Mary-Iris Taylor
I have been using Cross-Pollinate for about 10 years now. The service is consistently great and I can always find just the kind of apartment we like, at the right price. - Hirani Himona
A really great idea - with a network of hand picked little rooms/guesthouses. If only we could have this in more city destinations! - Zoe Buck
I love Cross-Pollinate and every time we go to a new city I look to see whether they have some accommodations over there. - Arantza Aldea
The two places I have stayed at from Cross-Pollinate have been among the best across Europe. Highly recommended. - Nicholas Burn
Thanks a lot to Cross-Pollinate for the opportunity to experience a city as an insider! We really enjoyed our stay in Rome and Venice and look forward to more. - Tatiana Marchenko
Cross-Pollinate was very helpful when the owner of the B&B wanted to charge us for the baby under 2 y o. It would have been difficult without them since the owners did not speak any english. - Yulia Pichugina
This was our only stay with a C-P apartment and we were very pleased with the entire process. Will look to use them again on our next Europe trip! - Anthony Giglio
Great web site and quick response from the team a CP made the whole experience easy and hassle free. I have already recommended CP to quite of few of my airline industry colleagues and I'm sure they will make use of their excellent service. - Shane Pickles
Cross-Pollinate was extremely helpful! They found us a place to stay in our price range when many other places of business couldn't help us. - Sarah Seminutin
Cross-Pollinate was very easy to use, and it is so much better to stay in places like these than big corporate hotels; you get a much better feel for the place. - Kaspar Deane
Very straight forward. Well done. Definitely would use it again. Love these type of alternatives to hotels! - John White
Cross-Pollinate was fantastic and easy to use. We used Cross-Pollinate to book a room in Florence (the second leg of our trip), which was everything I thought it would be. We have recommended Cross-Pollinate to our friends. - Barbara Carlin
Cross-Pollinate are great - the descriptions are accurate and they are very responsive to questions. - Dominique Bayne
Cross Pollinate was just the best. I had tried a couple of places before coming upon them. As soon as I sent the first email I stopped looking for any more websites. I just wish they expanded to every city in Europe. Their knowledge, helpfulness, etc. was second to none. - Caroline Collis
Magazzini del Sale Apartment
This apartment is located in one of the most laid back, quietest areas of Venice - Dorsoduro - near the amazing Peggy Guggenheim museum and the Accademia bridge. From here it's easy to get around and visit all the major sites of Venice on foot.

Located inside the courtyard of a building (with an old well) it's composed of an open living room/kitchen area, a bedroom with a small double bed and a bathroom with shower and some extra closet space. The ceilings are all exposed beams and typical of traditional Venetian constructions.

The area is nice and the apartment is well equipped.
Advise people to take the water bus both in and out. It took us one hour to find the place and an hour to get back to the train station when we left.
So far so good!

Apartment is spacious, clean, and comfortable. I loved the charming atmosphere and the quiet but convenient location. The property manager met us on time and escorted us to the apartment. She was available but we didn't need anything. She provided helpful information at check in.
Nothing. It was ideal for our purpose.
Excellent service. I would definitely use Cross-Pollinate again.

The location was perfect. It was central to everything we wanted to see. It was close to 4 Vaporetto stops. The apartment was nice and just like the pictures showed.

Roberta was very helpful, met us at the vaporetto upon arrival. The location is very charming and well located. The apartment is spacious and clean. Great kitchen area. Would definitely rent again.
The double bed is too small for two. With the low ceilings, may not be too comfy for you tall ones.
Great service! Make accommodation arranging simple.

My husband and I stayed in this apartment for five nights. It was absolutely perfect. We were met by Roberta when we got off of the boat and she was very nice and helpful. The apartment had everything we needed and the little courtyard is so nice the sit and enjoy coffee in the mornings. It is also within a short walking distance to everything you would want to do and see in Venice, but a little away from all of the touristy noise. We loved it!!
So happy to have found this website!

Close to most attractions in Venice. Spacious, clean and private. Free Wi-Fi
The hot water tank is miniscule. We managed about 5 minutes of hot water before it emptied. The courtyard is nice, but dark. Bring a flashlight if you return home in the evening. Being a ground-level apartment, the entire place was a bit dank (to be expected in Venice) Open the windows as soon as you get there.
Great! Roberta met us at the boat dock and walked us to the apartment.
