My wife and I just completed a two holiday in Italy and completely stayed at AirBnB facilities the entire time. We stayed in some unforgettable places in wonderful locations, but this might have been our favorite spot. The apartment was funky as in "chic", and felt like we were in an art gallery, not too surprising considering Elena's husband is actually an artist and posters of his work are on display in the apartment. While the location in Dorsaduro is a bit off the beaten path, it's in it's own cool neighborhood. Fantastic views are right out the windows of the apartment. The apartment is at ground level, and I imagine it could get a little noisy in high season, it was perfect in Spring.
To sum it up, it's a wonderful apartment in a wonderful location in a world class destination and Elena and her assistant Shirley were the best! Do not overlook this property!
