My husband and I just returned from an extended weekend in Venice.
We stayed in Michelangelo’s B&B for 3 nights. One of the best decisions we made was to use Airbandb and to choose Michelangelo’s place. He and his lovely Granny Elena are the most wonderful host imaginable – ready to go out of their way to help, advise, facilitate. They tried their best to make our stay in Venice memorable and pleasant. The room was very quiet, cleaned to perfection. Dorsoduro is close to the center of the city (only 10 minutes walking) but at the same time is away from the main tourist area. I would strongly recommend Michelangelo’s B&B. it was wonderful to be able to stay in a typical Venetian house with lovely local host rather than in a faceless hotel.
