There aren't too many properties in Venice like this one. With five bedrooms including three with ensuite euro-style bathrooms, a full kitchen, a washer and dryer, and an elevator to the apartment this was a great place for our family of 6 and could have easily accommodated a larger extended family of 8 or 10. While the location on Dosuduro may not be for everyone, we loved being out of the main tourist area, yet a short walk and water bus away from anywhere we wanted to go. The location on the water is great if you like the breeze off the water, watching the boat traffic, and hearing the church bells ring across the canal. Giorgio is an excellent and thorough host with every guide book imaginable for guests available in the unit as well as a thorough binder the explains the house rules, how to operate the appliances, and provides essential local info. The unit was clean and in excellent working order. This unit feels like you are stepping into an upscale Venetian home and we loved our stay here in Venice.
