Alessandra is a warm and helpful host. We had a late flight upon arrival and she was very accommodating in showing us around the flat at around midnight. I really appreciated the flexibility. The flat is as described, spacious and elegant, and both bedrooms and the dining area and sitting room are in prim condition. The flat has large windows and a very good light, which is great in Venice (many houses in narrow streets are not very well lit). The house is a former family home now divided into 3 flats. This one is on the second floor and I think it’s the largest because it has two bedrooms. For us it was perfect. It has a nice private terrace at the back where you can lounge during the warm summer evenings, and the front of the house has a large garden set back from the street, so the house is very quiet. The location is very good - it’s in Dorsoduro, within a short walking distance of the Peggy Guggenheim collection and Accademia. You can essentially walk everywhere. It’s heavenly for lovely Venetian walks! Some reviewers here have mentioned the lack of A/C but for us this was not an issue at all - the windows at the front create a very beautiful breezy draft with the door of the terrace in the evenings and it’s easy to keep the flat shady and cool. I really recommend this apartment!
