The apartment is located in the Dorsoduro, a calmer, beautiful part of Venice. The apartment was comfortable, spacious, very quiet, and lovely with exposed beams and high ceilings. The view over the canal was enchanting, the proximity to lively Piazza Margharita very convenient. We had a strange check-in when we arrived at 7 pm, (no host, apartment not quite ready) but it eventually got resolved and the rest of our stay went smoothly. A note about communication: as international, non-European guests our phone service did not allow to make calls use data. We could only use our phones with wifi. We could only use Google map when we had wifi. Old-fashioned paper maps still work best in this situation!
