This was my first Air BNB stay, so I didn't really know what to expect. I read reviews about this Dorsodura House and many other AirBNB places, and sometimes people say negative things. Those people seem to compare each place to a hotel or resort. What I discovered is that these places are more like a room or apartment you would stay in when you visit friends or family. That made for a more genuine experience. Each place has its unique charm, and the Dorsodura House was classic Venice. In the middle of a narrow alley, a few steps away from a canal, we felt like we returned to our own home in Venice each night. If you want to feel the local charm of Venice, this is a great place to stay.
Dino was very helpful. We had no phone/internet service, our train was delayed, and we didn't arrive until almost 11pm, but when I was finally able to connect and call Dino, he was very helpful and very understanding. Thank you, Dino! I hope we make it back some day for a longer stay.
