My husband and I stayed at the Ca' Accademia 2 in mid September and loved this apartment. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. The apartment was spacious and large, perfect for 2 people. It was very quiet other than the numerous church bells that go off around Venice at all times of the day. :) We loved having our own kitchen and balcony to eat breakfast from and relax. Having a large closet was wonderful for unpacking and getting situated, and having a washer was very convenient during the middle of our 12 day trip. We far preferred having this apartment than a hotel.
The location could not have been better - it is close enough to everything but not in the midst of the tourists. We enjoyed eating in the Dorsoduro area and exploring that side of the island. One thing we hadnt anticipated is that there are mosquitos closer to the water so we were glad to have an apartment higher up rather than on a canal at the ground level. There are not a lot of gardens in Venice so we appreciated seeing the beautiful gardens below from the terrace.
A thing to note for US travellers: the property does not have wi fi access but they can provide a wireless SIM card. Our US Ipad does not allow for the sim card they provided so not sure if that is a US thing or not.
We would recommend this apartment for anyone going to Venice. We were so glad we werent staying near St Mark's square.

This apartment was perfect for my husband nd for me as we LOVE the Dorsoduro area of Venice.
The apartment itself was spacious for 2..it has a terrific balcony/terrace with annice view of the Pension Accademia garden and has a very useful motorized awning for shade.
The bed is up a slightly shaky spiral staircase and I have to say that I found the mattress too hard. My husband, however, didn't find it too hard at all.
The bathroom has a toilet, sink and shower. There was a nice sized walkin closet and what appeared to be an air conditioning unit( we didn't need it in April).
The kitchen was fine, as we ate out really for all meals. There was no oven. The apartment is well located and was really very nice.
The apartment was clean, and the staff meeting us were prompt and friendly. They do not have the ability to connect Macs or iPads, however, for an extra charge one can get a stick to connect a PC to the Internet.
Being on a higher floor (5th I think - elevator in building), means there are no mosquitoes, which is hugely important.
I would stay there again.
