This was an exellent location for our visit to the Biennale. Both Giardini and Arsenale are close. The neighborhood is quiet and away from the worst tourist hassle. We stayed here in mid June and the two aircondition devices were a blessing. Answers to our questions and contacting was fast. The apartment is above surrounding buildings and has almost unobstructed view to all directions, but prepare to climb the stairs. If you are almost two meters long (as I am) you cannot stand straight in the shower. But overall, we really enjoyed our staying here and would come back again.
