If you are in Venice at any time, stay at Dott’s place. The location is something out of a story book, off the tourist map but still completely accessible and I few minutes walk from the main Biennale gardens/exhibit. Girabaldi place I s right up the block and has everything you could possibly need, to be honest you don’t have to leave this area at all if you’ve seen the main sites in Venice already . Perfect space, in yes a walk up, but not many flights. Quick communication and so willing to accommodate us in absolutely any way. Sparkling clean with great amenities. The bed is two twin beds put together but worked fine for us, a bit more firm than I am used to , but most of the spots in Italy are this way. The host even had wine waiting for us as well as cookies I for sure inhaled on site. I would stay here again.
