Andrea's apartment in Dorsoduro is a nice, modern, stylish apartment. It was clean and had everything you would need for your stay. It is outside of the touristy St. Mark's area but still only a 10-15 minute walk to it. We appreciated the canal views from the apartment and the quiet little street that this apartment is on. It is truly beautiful at night ! The boat stop is only a couple of minutes from the apartment itself. All major sites are walk-able from the place. Andrea's friend Giovanna met us at the boat stop in person and took us to the apartment and gave really helpful tips / advice for our stay.
However, we did run into problems with the AC - the AC made loud clanking noises at night and it was very hard to sleep. After our stay, Andrea informed us of an EU regulation that ACs should be kept at 26 degrees C +/- 2 degrees. This is not mentioned on the listing and we were not informed of this on check in. Andrea claimed that us trying to run it at temperatures lower than 24 is what caused the issue, however we tried it at various temps (20-25 C) throughout our 3 nights there and we never had any instance of the AC not being loud and noisy. This was definitely not ideal when you're exhausted after days of walking around Venice and not being able to sleep well at night.
Other than that, we had a fun stay in Venice!
