The apartment lived up to all the 5 star reviews. Everything about our stay was perfect – great location – walkable to all the main sites but away from the crowds in the quieter Dorsoduro neighborhood, with a number of nice restaurants on the waterfront (Fondamenta Zattere) steps away from the apartment. Everything was spotlessly clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the apartment had great views. The apartment was more than spacious for just the two of us and a relief after spending the prior week in small hotel rooms. The washing machine was a plus and easy to use and light loads were dried on a large drying rack. Hosts were super helpful, arranging for private transfers and even meeting us at the train station to personally escort us to the apartment. The return to the airport first by private water taxi and then private car took under 45 minutes on a Sunday morning and was well worth the E140 cost given we had 2 medium sized suitcases. You will get your exercise climbing the steps to this 4th floor apartment, but that helps work off the calories from the fine dining in Venice.
We used the location as a base to take day trips via train to Verona and Vicenza. Padua would have been equally reachable via train. The Prosecco producing region is only an one hour trip from Venice and a number of companies offer winetasting day trips from Venice—if your time allows suggest booking a tour there as well.
When we had a little hiccup (note to self, pay attention when Dimitri says make sure to take your keys with you every time you leave the apartment), they went out of their way to solve the problem. Highly recommended.
