This is a lovely apartment in a fantastic location. I have stayed in Dorsoduro before and have always found it great - not too crowded, beautiful squares and cafes and restaurants, and very easy to get around from on foot and by vaporetto. I enjoyed early morning walks to St Marks Square and it was also very easy to get to Giardini and Arsenale if you're interested in the Venice Biennale. The apartment is modern with a lovely view over the little canal. It's a small kitchen but it worked very well for me.
