Bryan was really helpful with lots of tips and info on things do and his friend Lola was lovely with all the check in info and showed us where everything is in the local neighbourhood. Dorsoduoro is a great place to be, with everything you need close at hand, including fabulous icecream at Nicos, cicchetti at Schiavi and Venetian food at La Bitta. Feels local as opposed to more touristy bits of the city. Apartment great too - really comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, very quiet bedrooms, excellent Wi-Fi etc and sunny views from the sitting room windows. We had a perfect few days here and are sad to come home.
