A beautiful apartment in a quiet, non-touristy area of Dorsoduro. Very spacious, with all modern amenities (great kitchen, washing machine, espresso maker, etc.). Close to the San Basilio vaporetto stop, or a 10-15 minute walk from Piazzale Roma or the Ca' Rezzonico vaporetto stop on the Grand Canal. Italo is a very nice and helpful guy. This is a wonderful place to stay, away from the annoying crowds of San Marco, with easy access everywhere in Venice. Easily accomodates 5 adults, with a lovely little balcony off the master bedroom! Highly recommended!

Tips: Billa supermarket on the Zattere (near the San Basilio stop) is a great place to pick up supplies. "Pane Vino e San Daniele" (the one behind San Sebastiano) is a MUST for lunch or dinner. Skip the tacky glass shops near San Marco and get your souvenirs and jewelry from Stefano at 'Fratelli De Laurentis' on Fondamenta San Sebastiano, across the little bridge from S. Sebastiano church, he makes all the jewelry and items himself!
