We loved our stay in magical Venice. Marco and Patricia were easy to contact and stayed in close contact when our arrival was delayed due to a flight hold up. The flat was well equipped and exquisitely clean. The bedrooms were generous sizes and the beds comfortable. We were delighted to be so close to the Biennale main venues - equipment distant from the Arsenale and Giadini but at the same time to be living amongst ordinary Venetians. There were bakeries and mini supermarkets nearby to buy essentials.The Via Garibaldi was 5 minutes walk away and had a whole range of bars and restaurants for evening meals and drinks on the occasions we didn't eat in Central Venice. It was a 10 minute walk to the water bus to take us to St Mark's Square 2-3 stops away and the Rialto Bridge a few stops further on. Just perfect for us. We'll be back!
