The Gafaro Malcanton apartment is incredibly spacious, extremely comfortable, quiet, clean, secure and centrally located in the Dorsoduro sestiere of Venice, easily accessible to the train station and close to the wonderful sites and restaurants in the Dorsoduro, San Polo and Santa Croce neighborhoods. It is more or less equidistant from the Rialto and Accademia bridges, which traverse the Grand Canal into the San Marco area. It is on the ground floor so you needn’t worry about lugging your baggage up a flight or two of steps. The bedroom is very large with good storage and a comfortable bed. The living room is also very large with a very comfortable couch (my wife took several naps there) and the kitchen is well proportioned and equipped. There is even a private outdoor space for morning coffee or evening aperativi. Mario and Giovanna are very gracious hosts. Giovanna met us just over the bridge from the train stations and quickly ushered us to the lovely apartment in a private gated courtyard situated on a beautiful and quite canal. Giovanna’s English is excellent and although Mario demurs, his English is better than he is willing to admit. We would recommend it to anyone interested in visiting the beautiful and romantic city of Venice.
