This is an attractive well-situated apartment for both Biennale activities and access to Venice, as it is in a residential neighbourhood but close to San Marco, Arsenale and waterbus. The kitchen was very well-equipped for cooking and Cristian had many excellent tips about both food-shopping and restaurants. We were unexpectedly chilly due to rain so Francesca came over while we were out and made up our beds with warmer bedding. Bathroom was clean & shower worked well--as did wifi. One small point is that the master bedroom is very lovely but the second bedroom is smaller with two single beds, so better for a family than 2 couples. Canal views from almost all windows, very quiet at night, and good food & wine shopping nearby. Excellent introduction and communication. Cristian also gave us a tour of the Murano glassmaking factory where he works. Mentioning his name at two restaurants that he'd recommended definitely helped!
