This apartment is exactly as shown. We enjoyed the views of the Grand canal from the rooftop tower. When it was cold outside we stayed in and watched the mesmerizing activity on the Grand Canal. We were lucky to be there during during the Festival of the Feast of the Virgin, there was a temporary bridge to Salute which was bustling. The apartment is warm and cozy- lots of amenities american style coffee maker, washer dryer, three bathrooms. We used the kitchen to eat in and never lacked for anything. Dorsoduro is a fantastic location - we saw families walking to school in the morning. The shops around the Guggenheim and Accademia are much nicer than the average tourist shops. We appreciated Monica's restaurant recommendations- make sure you try the Trattoria Rafaella - very Italian without a focus on pasta, and excellent service. The Accademia bridge drops you right between Rialto and Saint Marks- central to everything.
