Definitely the Dorsoduro is the best place to stay in Venice for a quiet yet central location. CRISTINA's apartment is perfect for a couple or for a small family. The apartment is a couple of minutes to Guggenheim museum, Academia bridge and Basilica Santa Maria della Salute. There are vaporetto stops directly outside the door to San Marco. What better way of greeting the morning in Venice than opening your door and walking directly from your apartment on to the walkway overlooking the passing traffic in Guidecca canal! Wifi was great. Air conditioning in summer was PERFECT. host could not have been more helpful. Thanks Cristina!
