Having been to Venice quite a few times, I've always wanted to stay in a quieter area of Dorsoduro – and so glad I did! Cause we loved it even more than we expected. The area is beautiful and calm, with everything one might need close enough – supermarkets, groceries, bars, and cafes. If you happen to stay there through Monday, it is less than 10 mins to the awesome local farmers' market close to St. Marta vaporetto stop, an experience not to miss. And in less than 10 mins you can be on Zattere embankment next to San Basilio – which is perfect for running. The apartment is bright, stylish and full of light and air. There are all the amenities one might need, even a salad spinner! The space was just perfect for the 3 of us, with both beds being very comfortable which is of great importance. Daria is a great host who made us feel truly welcome, shared lots of useful recommendations and was always easy and pleasant to communicate with.
