This apartment is beautiful and comfortable. Excellent a/c if you are visiting in the warmer months. Valentina provides lovely welcome items like coffee, tea and biscuits. Her restaurant recommendations are spot on as well! If you don’t want to navigate public vaporetto a water taxi can take you to the apartment from Pizzale Roma for around 60 to 70 euros. (Highly recommend) also, use your phone GPS for walking directions and you can be at Rialto or San Marco in 20 minutes or less. There is a cafe and gelato place a 5 minute walk from your front door right on the Grand Canal. We found Dorsoduro to be a quieter neighborhood as well, which was nice to come back to after sightseeing during the day. Beautiful sunsets out of the living room windows. Just remember it is a 4th floor walk up as with most of Venice you will get plenty of exercise!
