Italo's apartment is a wonderful place to discover the magic of Venice and we loved our 4-day stay. It is located on the quiet western end of Dorsoduro away from the crowds in San Marco. Italo's assistant Dilan met us at the train station and walked us to the apartment. As others have commented the apartment is more spacious than you expect it will be. The first night of our visit we had 2 adults and a teenager and it was comfortable for all. The apartment has windows on three sides of the building so you can see the canal as well has a grassy area where the locals exercise their dogs. There is a grocery store conveniently located near the S. Basilio vaporetto stop about 4 minutes away. We enjoyed gradually learning how to get around parts of Dorsoduro and nearby San Polo without a map.
