Flavia was great to work with and the apartment is just as good as the pictures show with one of the best equipped kitchens I’ve encountered in a rental apartment. Can’t emphasize enough how well located this apartment is, particularly if you’re going for the Biennale or want to visit Murano or Burano or use Alilaguna to get to the airport. You can walk through the lovely and dead calm eastern and northern areas of the city without ever having to deal with the crowded mazes surrounding San Marco. And to visit San Marco you can take an easy path along Fondamenta S. Lorenzo to Riva Degli Schiavoni and then enter the square from the south (passing by a good gelato shop, La Mela Verde, along the way). It’s even convenient to get to the Rialto bridge. Highly recommended for the location alone.
