Atelier_5 is a friendly team and it was very easy to make arrangements for my stay with them. Masa gave lots of practical tips and had the answers to all my questions. The room was exactly as in the picture, bathroom and kitchen were clean and had really everything I needed for this trip. Even though I spent only 2 nights in Venice and was exploring the city most of the time, it felt like my local home. With the Atelier_5 room as a dug-out, I could explore the whole of Venice by foot. It's about an hour stroll to the Giardini on the opposite side of the city, but then if you just want to explore by wandering around, you can make the stroll last as long as your inspiration makes it. The area is quiet, with some nice bars and restaurants at the border of the canals to end your day. It's also conveniently close to public transportation. Great value for money.
