I stayed here with four friends for the opening of the Venice Biennale. Sara was SO HELPFUL ahead of our stay, sending maps and tourist advice through by email. She also kindly allowed us to check out late which was massively appreciated!

The apartment was wonderful - just like in the pictures. We were provided with plenty of towels and everywhere was clean. There was also a little balcony and it was lovely to open the doors to let the fresh air in.

It was really quiet. In 2013 I stayed in an apartment (also nice!) about two blocks away, but it felt really noisy at night whereas this apartment is on a quieter street, plus it's a couple of floors up (there are a lot of stairs so be prepared if you arrive with heavy bags!), so I think this is what made it so peaceful.

It's also in a great location, easy to get to the Arsenale vaparetto stop, San Marco is about a 10 min walk, it's BRILLIANT is you're going to the biennale as the Giardini are a 15 minute walk.

The only slight negative was the fact that the shower hose doesn't attach to the wall (it's connected to the bath), so you need to hold the shower head above you to use it. Having said that, that is how it appears in the photo, and also, it wasn't too big a deal!

I would definitely book this apartment again. Location, price, and Sara's helpfulness all made it a great stay. Unfortunately we didn't meet as she was away on holiday, so she arranged for someone else to meet us at Arsenale and walk us to the apartment.
