The apartment turned out to be a nice, warm and friendly place in a very quiet area of Dorsoduro in the centre of Venice. In theory it can accommodate 6 people, but to us it seemed more like a very comfortable place for up to 4. At one side the rooms offer a view on a small side canal. The apartment is stacked in all the rooms with books, and the living room also contains a nice collection of music and films (so even if the aqua alta prevents you from going out, you won't die of boredom). The apartment is a short walk from Campo San Barnaba, with plenty of good restaurants on or near it. And the rest of Venice is within half an hour's reach (if you don't get lost). We stayed for five nights, and loved it, both the apartment and Venice.
