After a week in Castello my daughter and I extended our stay in Venice for another 3 nights, which we were privileged to spend in Daniele's amazing place in Dorsoduro. The first thing that comes to mind when entering is how big and spacious the apartment is! A very rare thing in Venice.
Communication with Daniele was excellent, he responded very quickly to all messages I sent. Everything in the apartment worked well, there was enough hot water, WIFI was very strong and fast, the kitchen had everything we needed - a stove top with 3 gas burners and an electric burner, an oven (which we didn't use) enough pots and pans for cooking, even a kettle.
The bathroom doesn't have a stand up shower, just a bathtub, but we had no problems with that.
Both bedrooms are again very spacious, and I loved the old furniture and pictures on the walls, wich really gave the place an authentic feel. The mattresses are more on the hard side, but that's how I prefer them anyway. The main bedroom is quieter at night than the smaller bedroom with the 2 single beds, as it faces onto an inner courtyard (no view, but quiet at night).
The location is wonderful, Dorsoduro is one of my favourite sestieri in Venice. Plus it is virtually 2 minutes from Salute vaporetto stop, and not too far from Accademia either.
Daniele also let us leave our luggage in the hall downstairs before moving in and on our last day in Venice, as our train didn't leave until 4pm, which was extremely helpful. Thank you Daniele for letting us stay in this amazing place!
