The neighborhood was very nice and quiet and very close to both Arsenale and Giardini and as we were visiting for the Venice Biennale that was a huge plus. The apartment is amazing, we couldn't possibly wish for more - with all the amenities we needed, a lot of natural light and even a small courtyard. We didn't get to meet Veronica and from the reviews we had read and the messages left to her from other visitors that adorned the fridge we understand that was quite a loss, but we were greeted by her friend Alice who was extremely nice and helpful with a lot of advice an suggestions and with whom we got to spend one evening and one afternoon in which we met some of her friends, who were also very friendly and nice people. Would definitely try to rent the room again for our next visit and recommend it to our friends.
