We had a fantastic 3 days in Venice in November and staying at Marzia's apartment was perfect. The flat is cosy and homely in a quiet and very 'authentic' area of Venice - Dorsoduro, which was my favourite part of Venice. Marzia picked us up from the airport, showed us round the flat and gave us a map with tips for places to see and restaurants. It was a great starting point for wandering during our first (sunny!) day in Venice where we walked to Rialto and ended up in San Marco sqaure at sunset. All of Venice is stunningly beautiful but I can honestly say Dorsoduro was the best part as it is peaceful and not crowded (in November in any case!) and you can just wander nad appreciate the beauty of the city.

There was also a great supermarket a 10 min walk away and a few authentic local restaurants and bacari nearby which were great places to get spritz and cicchetti. I would 100% recommend staying here during your trip to Venice!
