What an amazing apartment. This really cannot be over looked. Initially when I booked this apartment I worried that it may have been a little too far out as on a map it looked like it was on the outskirts of the centre of Venice. How wrong was I. It was THE perfect location. It is in what I now consider to be the best part of Venice to stay in (albeit this is based on 3 days there). The apartment itself is lovely. Clean, modern and fresh with all new ikea furniture/fittings. Thomas and his wife have literally thought of everything, down to an umbrella if it rains, an iron and ironing board and even a little first aid kit should you get a blister (we did ☹️). The apartment was very comfortable and in my view the perfect size for a mini break. The bed was comfy and we slept amazingly as it was so quiet. It is perfectly located on one of the large canals right next to the water ferry/taxi stops and near plenty of lovely bars restaurants and shops. St Marc's square and Rialto were obviously a must see but I was so happy going back to dorsoduro as it wasn't half as busy as the hustle and bustle of the other areas. I only wish we had had more time to explore all of this area as it had some amazing bars and restaurants. It is well within walking distance of all the main tourist attractions and we were amazed at how close they actually were. Be sure to try the recommended restaurants as we did and they were amazing. If we could do it all over again (which we will), we would have spent more time around dorsoduro as it's so cheap and a lot more trendy. Put it this way-a glass of prosecco in st Marc's square was around €30. It was around €2.50-5 (5 if sitting at a table) here. Loved it. Thank you so so much
