Our family of 5 (2 parents and 3 older kids aged 21, 18 & 15) greatly enjoyed our stay at Valentina's place in beautiful Dorsoduro. The place was on a fondament and you could walk out onto a small terrace and view the canal below. Beds were comfortable and air conditioning worked perfectly in the Venetian summer heat. Lastly the shower worked well and the kitchen was well equipped. The most important feature was the LOCATION in beautiful Dorsoduro with many great restaurants, bars. cafes, galleries and take away food shops as well as many cute independent stores. It is also in close proximity to the Zattere where you can walk along the Giudecca cannal round the point to the Grand Cannal facing St Marks. The apartment is very comfortable and clean and we highly recommend it for your stay in Venezia!
