We have been to Venice many times over the years, and the location of this lovely apartment made this one the best visit yet. Jean-Pierre was very responsive from the minute we booked our trip; his assistant, Daniella, was warm and welcoming when she greeted us at the apartment, which was spotless and a pleasure to return to after our long days of walking up and down the city's bridges. It was perfectly situated between the main exhibitions of the Biennale and a short walk to the vaporetto. Via Garibaldi is alive with fish, meat and fruit vendors, bakeries, restaurants and bars. And there's a supermarket nearby. The apartment is in a secure building. Access requires three keys, and two doors lock behind you. Be prepared to sort your trash -- plastics, paper, etc. It's Venetian law, but doable. We will return to Venice and, we hope, this special apartment.
