Marco was fantastic. He made us feel most welcome to both his apartment and to Venice. He helped us enormously with information and tips. The perfect host.

The apartment is modern, clean, warm (in the winter) and very comfortable.

The location we thought great, its a more local neighbourhood, though very close to the Academia bridge so easy to get to the main tourist sites - if you want them. Plenty of cafes/restaurants/shops close by, plus a good supermarket. Buying veg from the boat market was a treat. We felt relief every time we came back to Dosoduro.

Maybe the view wasn't great, but as Marco said with Venice on your doorstep you already have a front room. 50m from the apart there is a small jetty with your own private view of the Grand Canal.
