If this canalside apartment isn't in a stellar location, nothing is. It's right along the Zattere waterfront, just a one-minute stroll from the Gallerie dell'Accademia and its famous bridge. The setting is undoubtedly the highlight, but this studio-style apartment gets points for style, too. Sure, it's compact, but it has plenty of character. The bed is on the mezzanine tucked under the wooden-beamed ceiling, creating separation from the living area downstairs. We think it's perfect for couples or solo travellers looking for a comfortable and central base in Venice.

About Dorsoduro
Located just south of Rialto, Dorsoduro is a large and culturally rich quarter. The majority of Ca' Foscari (the main university in the city) is in this area, so the people here skew young and trendy.
