- Baranaba is a simply furnished, well equipped, very cosy little house in Dorsodoro in which we all felt at home. The area could not be better. It is positioned in a very quiet little street with a view of gardens from the sitting room windows. The baker, the greengrocer, excellent small restaurants and a supermarket are 2 mins walk away and it is wonderfully close to the Academia. There are no bridges to the closest vaporetta stop! The only drawback was the attic bed which was a bit hard and the low height of the attic bedroom roof! Nevertheless, we would all, including my 86 year old mum happily stay there again. Thankyou to the owners and to Holiday Velvet for excellent organisation.

- Property was in a good clean condition and comfortable . We did not cook but it seemed that all the necessary items were there for those that want to. Central heating was very efficient and kept the flat almost too warm. The ceiling on the upstairs bedroom is low and does not allow one one to stand up straight. Location is excellent between San Basilio and Ca' Rezzonico water bus stops. Restaurants are very adjacent - off San Barnaba square. A bread shop is just across the street and a wine shop is about 4 doors away. The nearest supermarket is next to the San Basilio stop. We had a very enjoyable stay there and would use it again.

- This apartment was in a fabulous, non tourist area, with loads of ammenties close by to buy local produce and wine. Great cafes and restaurants all within walking distance. Vaparetto an easy short walk, and the Academia literally around the corner. The apartment was quiet, clean and very pleasant with good facilities. Be warned, the upstairs attic bedroom is very very low! My only minor complaint was housekeeping just needed to check the light bulbs (I think almost 50% were blown) and little things like no toilet paper. Venice is an expensive place to stay, so I cannot really compare prices, but I felt satisified. All in all, a great place to stay, highly recommended. Who wants a touristy hotel, when you can stay in 'real' Venice , relax, stretch out and feel part of it!
