Alessandra's place is the perfect place to experience Venice. The quiet, but close, nieghborhood of Dorsoduro is the perfect location for being close to the heart of activity in Venice, but also quiet and close to experiencing the less "touristy" side of Venice. The Vaporetto #1 (3 min away) or #2 (5 min away) are a great convenience. We loved walking throughout all of Venice, but especially throughout Dorsoduro, especially Campo San Margherita for a great location to watch and experience Venice. 5 stars for Alessandra.
