Maurizia's place is ideally situated in a quieter area of Venice. Dorsoduro district is close to the station and airport bus drop off, so is accessible on foot if you travel lightly.
The traditional apartment, annexed to the host's house, has everything you need for a city break. It is close to a vaporetto stop, but walking around Venice is fun, healthy and cheap! Part of the apartment building is 700 years old.
Roberto, Maurizia's husband was friendly and warm.They were both born in Venice so they know everything local you may wish to find out.
The Blue cafe for breakfast and Toni's restaurant specialising in local fish and pasta cuisine were perfect recommendations for us.
We visited for the Venice biennale and enjoyed the hour long sortie across Venice between the Arsenale and the apartment.
We plan to return to the wonderful city of Venice and would hope to stay in Maurizia's place again.
