I really felt in love with Dorsoduro! It's the place to be in Venice. Romantic esprecially at night, no mass tourism, bars and restaurants mostly visited by Italiens and centrally located. I highly recommend Osteria Al Squero (beware of hoggish seagulls), Pasticceria Toletta (yummy tartlets) and the Pizzeria Oke (friendly staff and tasty pizzas).
All are only a few steps away from Thomas' nice apartments where I felt at home in the space of a few seconds! It was awesome: A newly renovated flat with a comfortable bedroom, a very tidy bathroom and a nice kitchen fitted with everything you need for cooking.
Thomas was a very attentively and reliable host! Due to a private engagement we didn't met. Anyhow my check-in went smoothly. I even could move into the apartment before check-in time. All in all, I had a wonderful time in Venice! Grazie mille per tutto, Thomas!
