This place is a real gem if you want to experience the real Venice. I loved being on the side of the canal and looking down on it, the old shutters, sloping floor of the apartment just added to the experience. The apartment was basic, although it had absolutely everything we needed (including WiFi which I wasn’t expecting) and very clean! Towels were nicest we had throughout our 3 week stay in Italy. The location is good because it’s close to Piazzale Roma (under 10 min) and it’s away from the craziness of San Marco. We found it easy to walk all over the city and liked the student feel of Dorsoduro, even though we’re a family with two kids (12 & 10). Daniela was brilliant to deal with: great at responding to emails, met us exactly where and when she said she would and let us leave our luggage in the hall cupboard for the day on our last day which was amazing! Would definitely go back and fully recommend.
