Anna’s apartment is nestled off of Via Garibaldi and is an utter gem. Minutes walk from the Giardini vaporetto stop, Anna was kind enough to meet us there and give an update on the local area and available restaurants nearby. From the apartment you can easily hop on the boat to Murano or walk all the way along up to the Grand Canal and San Marco. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated and so welcoming that we opted to stay in a couple of nights for homemade cicchetti and a bottle of Italian red. If you’re two couples looking for a cosy, authentic place is Venice this is for you.
