Perfection!
I can’t imagine wanting anything more from a property. It is stylish and well-decorated (and even has a James Bond-ish locking front door). Great air-conditioning in every rooms, comfortable beds, and fabulous showers with plenty of hot water.
The neighborhood (Dosoduro) is great. Less touristy and crowded but still active with plenty of lovely restaurants and shops. It’s just an alley away from St. Barnabas Square, a cute & lively local hang.
Alessandro’s sister met us at the boat, escorted us to the home, and gave us PERFECT recommendations and directions for our stay.
I love Venice and it’s because of the wonderful experience with this stay. If I’d chosen a hotel or residence in the touristy areas my thoughts would be not positive. It’s an easy walk to see all the sights and we breathed a sigh of relief when we returned to the tranquility of our little neighborhood.
NOTE: The only thing to be aware of is that the bedrooms are up 14 rather steep stairs. If someone has mobility issues this would present a problem.
Thanks you for sharing your lovely home and for being such wonderful hosts.
