Three bed rooms for us and two boys was key. We did not take advantage but full kitchen with anything you would need to cook. No AC but plenty of air coming off the small canal behind us kept us cool . Only drawback was one bath but we managed.
place was well equipped and comfortable for us. location was perfectâ close to transportation, but still quiet at night and in the evening. More of a home than most rentals.
Helpful Irene, property manager, well fitted kitchen, projector DVDs, comfy, great quiet location near vaporetti and campo San margarita. Even Wellington boots, various sizes, for high watersđ
The location is ideal: you can explore Venice with ease snd also enjoy the peace and quiet of this quiet residential area. The kitchen is really well stocked which we enjoyed as we like to self cater. The information that David had left was really useful. Beds were comfy and bathroom clean.
Highly Recommend Staying Here. Not only was the area quiet, the property is unique and provides the perfect Venice experience. The location is ideal - A short enough walk to popular attractions, good eats and the train station. My friends and I feel lucky to have booked this spot. We did not want to leave.
An apartment full of character, with eclectic treasures , right on a canal
This was a treat, it is homely, with a kitchen that encourages you to cook , then a dining table where you watch the gondolaâs go by. We had 3 nights , it was never going to be enough. The area is peaceful and beautiful, away from the crowds. The tips given by the owner were perfect, we just loved it . We thoroughly recommend the apartment, it was perfect!
This was a truly fantastic experience- walking into a stylish apartment, antiques, books, music and much more. Loved being on the side of a canal and being able to sit outside in a private court yard next to the canal. Hosts very attentive and superb at communicating.
This apartment was a cozy haven in Venice, in a great non-touristy location. Comfy beds, amazing bookshelves packed with everything you need to know about Venice & Italy. Well appointed kitchen. Air conditioning wasnât quite up to the heat-fans in each room helped, but was still pretty warm.
Love at first sight. Delighted to see the top of the gondolier's head going past the living room window. A quiet area, easy walk to everywhere we wanted to go. Very well-equipped kitchen. A little more clothes storage would be great!
This is a wonderful and unique property in Venice. The owner David has furnished this apartment to immerse you in the Venice experience. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood that acts as a refuge after busy days touring the lagoon and sites. It is well equipped and is exactly as it appears in the pictures. David was perfect to deal with and the place is packed with useful information. I will definitely return to this sanctuary in Venice.
We had a lovely stay at Davidâs flat in Venice. It was a perfect spot for our family of 4 (my spouse and I and our 13 & 14 year olds). Itâs cozy and ecclectic, and we had some wonderful evenings in the sitting room playing cards by candlelight after a full day of exploring. Communication with David was excellent, and Irene, his housekeeper was also very flexible & welcoming, and able to meet us after we arrived by water taxi. The location was excellentâ easy to walk to all destinations, yet also removed from the crowds of tourists. Itâs right on the canal, and in warm weather thereâs a small table and chairs that you can carry out to enjoy the sunshine. We even enjoyed watching a gondolier training his children to navigate the canals. All in all a great stay!
We absolutely loved our stay in Davidâs apartment. Myself and two friends were completely comfortable in the three bedroom apartment and it was located on a quiet back street right behind a canal in Dursoduro. We could walk to the very crowded sights near St. Marks, then retreat to our quiet oasis at night. David was the most wonderful host - he provided us with a ton of information about the apartment, neighborhood and Venice in general. When we arrived, he arranged for a greeter to show us to the apartment and get us set up. We had a perfect three days in Venice and would absolutely return to stay in this beautiful apartment again đ€
I adore this area of Dorsoduro, and I loved residing on a canal with gondolas passing by every now and then. The master bedroom is enormous and the living room quite well-equipped. There are two other bedrooms (one with a double bed and one with very comfortable twin beds). The kitchen is rather small, but nearly everything a guest might need or want in order to be comfortable is on hand. Thank you, David, for your kind assistance throughout my stay and for your never-ending patience and understanding as well.
Charmingly furnished in a vintage Venician style, this apartment opens directly onto the canal. Gondolas float past intermittantly right out the window. Apartment is clean with fresh towels. There's no central AC, but there are a couple of plug-in AC units which help. The walk to St. Marks Square is about 20 - 25 minutes, so bring your walking shoes. Check-in process was super easy and host was very responsive throughout. We had a great time. Thank you!
This rental was just as pictured. We loved the private entry and the on canal location. Check in was fairly easy. The city was beautiful but so friken hot. The air conditioner in the unit was on close to 24 hours and kept the unit comfortable. Plenty of linens and the unit was very clean.
The flat was a trip back in time to an older Venice. Replete with all the modern comforts of a/c and a dishwasher, we otherwise felt as if we were dissident writers in the jazz age with David's library, furnishings, and appointments. We very much appreciated his instructions, which helped ease our transition from COVID-USA to temporary Venetian. Thanks for being a great host and making your wonderful place available.
We enjoyed our 5 day stay in Dorsoduro very much. Itâs a very nice quarter and the appartment has everything in easy walking distance. The appartmentâs kitchen is very well equipped.
Wonderful to have our own base. Perfect way to introduce our kids to the wonders of Venice, and feel like we belonged there and we're not just visitors. David's flat truly felt like our home for a few days. Everything is easily accessible and it is in the heart of Venice, but hidden away from the main tourist area. The neighbours made us very welcome and the flat is lovely
The apartment was perfect. Kitchen well equipped!!! Beautifully furnished, cozy. Library amazing. I go to Venice every two years and always stay in the Dorsoduro area. I think its a perfect location to walk and be quiet yet so easy to reach museums etc. This apartment for location and comfort was one of the best that I have rented ! Thank you for a wonderful stay.
My 2 friends and I were delighted with our stay in this perfectly located apartment. David was so helpful in responding to our questions before we booked and in anticipation of our arrival. We each had our own comfortable bedroom, and enjoyed breakfast in the kitchen and playing cards in the living room. We would surely rent this apartment again if we havea n opportunity to visit Venice again.
