Excellent Property and Best Ever Host!
The property itself is spacious, clean, comfortable and equipped with everything you will need for your stay in Venice. The apartment is spread over 2 floors. There is a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, lounge (or living room), and full bath with shower on the first floor. There are two ensuite bedrooms on the second floor with attached baths. The showers in the upstairs bathrooms are a bit small but worked well for travel buddy and me. The one on the lower level is very roomy for those who prefer.
The apartment is located in the Dorsoduro district of Venice - my personal favorite! It's quieter, less full of tourists and still close to everything via the Academia Bridge. There's a market nearby for groceries and necessities. There are two squares with numerous restaurants, cafes, bars and a coffee shop, but you can still sit and watch the local families gather as their small children play. Perfect!
But the absolute best was the host, Alessandro! Communication prior to arrival was superb with detailed instructions on alternative options to get to the apartment. He met us in the nearby square Campo San Barnaba on arrival and walked with us to the apt. He covered everything in the apt and nearby area. In addition, he reviewed a map of Venice, highlighted the usual sights, when to best visit, and several hidden gems, and how to get to them.
In summary, absolutely the best Expedia/VRBO stay ever!!!
