My friend and I were absolutely delighted with this apartment - it is in the perfect location to see the art Biennale as it is right next to Arsenale and a short walk to Giardini. It is a very cute and comfortable flat with a wonderful terrace looking out over the neighborhood. I always prefer to stay outside of the super touristy areas and this neighborhood gives you the feel of daily life in Venice - from the laundry hung criss cross over the street to the cafes filling up at night with the older locals gathering for their evening spritz - it's great. Lucia & Riccardo were wonderful hosts - my luggage was lost on the flight in and Lucia very nicely helped me communicate with the lost baggage office to have it delivered. We also went on a fantastic boat ride with Riccardo & Lucia through the canals at night - I cannot recommend it highly enough - it was magical and they were wonderful tour guides.
