What can we say but Fantastic. This home was great for a stay in Venice. The location was outstanding (a one minute walk to the vaporetti (water bus), which got you anywhere in Venice easily. This location came in very handy when getting to and from the airport shuttle/water transports, only one bridge to cross) Beautiful view of Giudecca from balcony. Marco is a fantastic host!! Although he was not physically there, he had people to help with any concerns. They always responded quickly (big plus!) One drawback is the 5 flights of stairs you must take to get to the home. Lugging suitcases up and down was not easy. I did find out though I was in shape (bad shape!) But in our opinion, was worth the view we enjoyed. The area, is VERY safe and quiet. That is priceless in Venice. You get away from the hoards of tourists, and enjoy great restaurants in the Dorodurso area. A couple of things to know about the home, it's very comfortable, but a little dated. (no big deal) There is a air conditioner, however doesn't quite get the bedroom cool. (my wife sleeps warm, so she had a slight issue) Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. I highly recommend this home to stay for an extended time. Just make sure you are in shape (if not will will be by the end of your stay)
