We Booked the location behause its close to Giardini & Arsenale to visit the Biennale and its close to the boat station where the boats arrive from the airport. Therefore we were quite surprised and a Little bit disappointed that we had to pick up the keys close to the railway station (north of venice). Otherwise everything is Perfect and i can recommend the place. Its suited in a quiet small street away from all the tourists. The boat station (and the North entrance to the Arsenale is) is close. Thanks a lot!
