Martina's place was fantastic. Via Garibaldi is an ideal location - quiet and away from the tourist area but at the same time lively with excellent restaurants, supermarket and only a short walk to St Mark's square. If you are visiting at the time of the Biennale, the location is perfect as it is between the two venues and very close to both.
The apartment was very well equipped, clean and spacious, just as described in the description.
Martina was an exceptional host, very friendly and helpful. She let us know exactly how to get to her place and she then showed us around the area. She also provided us with a folder filled with notes, recommendations of restaurants, maps etc.
If we had to choose again, this is where we would stay. Highly recommended!
