The location of this apartment is perfect for anyone wanting to feel like they’re visiting the real Venice. The Dorsoduro neighborhood offers a wonderful getaway from the more touristy areas. There are terrific dining options nearby, the promenade is lively, and most everything we wanted to see is within walking distance. The apartment itself is full of art and things collected over a lifetime. It truly felt as though we were guests in someone’s home. We didn’t get a chance to use the chef-quality kitchen but it looked great. And we appreciated the reliable WiFi, clothes washer, and quiet at night. Katia is a wonderful host and helped make our stay comfortable. Very responsive, she made sure we had whatever we needed, including transportation to the airport. We only regret that we couldn’t stay longer.
