Me and my husband spend 7 days in Venice. Dante's apartment was a great part of our stay. It was much better then we expected from pictures - it was bigger, decorated with great artworks, just a minute away from Academia bridge and very close to a wonderful "fondamenta della Zattere".
Unfortunately we didn't meet Dante, however his person of trust met us even though our flight was very late and explained everything we should know. It is good to have at least a minimum of Italian language to better communicate but gestures and google translator helps! We were allowed to leave our luggage after the check out time and keep the keys till the last moment. Fantastic venue for a reasonable price! Highly recommended!
