Isabella & Andrea’s apartment was perfectly located in Dorsoduro. Easily within walking distance to any shop you could want, the grocery is just downstairs and steps away, as are wonderful restaurants and gelato stands. The vaporetto (water bus) is less than a minute away. The view across the Giudecca canal from the bedroom, office, and living room is spectacular!!! The kitchen was well equipped and Isabel left a thoughtfully selected basket of treats and snacks, along with a welcoming bottle of wine. The bed and linens were very comfortable. The shower did take a bit to get used to but was fine once we realized to turn off the hand-held sprayer. There is no elevator and three flights of steps to access the apartment, so probably not a good idea for those without strong legs...but then of course, neither is Venice! The only downside is lack of screens on the windows (typical for Italy), and the mosquitoes were pretty ferocious! Bring or purchase your repellant of choice if you are bothered by them! We stayed 8 nights and would have easily stayed longer in this comfortable and beautiful space! I cannot wait to return next year!
