Staying at Sabine's place in the heart of lovely Dorsoduro, 2 minutes from Zattere and 2 minutes from Academia bridge, was perfect in every way. The 2-level apartment is airy and sunny, with a great view of the rooftops and the street below; newly renovated, sparkling clean, elegantly and stylishly decorated, and feels like a real home (a jar of freshly ground coffee was waiting for us in the kitchen). Getting here from the airport was a breeze via Ca'Rezzonico ferry stop + a 5-minute walk; lots of great cafes around and a 7-minute walk to a supermarket. Sabine was a considerate and attentive host, even though we did not have a chance to meet in person.
