This apartment is in a great location in a remarkably quiet part of Venice. Still, it is close to the Accademia Bridge, vaporetto stops, a grocery store, and of course excellent museums, restaurants and gelato shops. The tip of Dorsoduro, with its excellent views at the mouth of the Grand Canal, is just a short walk away. The layout of the apartment is great and suited our family of four very well -- and we certainly appreciated the two bathrooms. The A/C worked perfectly, and the apartment was spotlessly clean. Also, the modern renovation is very well done with the gorgeous historic windows preserved. I should say that the access from the street is via a narrow and steep spiral staircase -- traversing it with luggage was fine for us but could be a problem for people with limited mobility.

Mattia was a very gracious host. He was very welcoming and even stocked the kitchen with coffee, orange juice, some breakfast food, paper towels, and so on. He gave us a nice tour of the apartment and showed us how everything worked (and he even provided laundry detergent). We arrived early, before the official check-in time, but he was able to give us early access to the place. All was lovely! Thanks, Mattia!
