We were on a two weeks family vacation/art biennale visit. Very good value for money. Quite corner of quite Castello and good for good night sleep but also close to little corners of local life if you walk in the direction away from the lagoon. Bakery, groceries, butcher, vegetables, a corner with row of small bars with locals, restaurants. My favorite it to take a walk towards the Giardini gardens and beyond. Don´t miss lively Via Garibaldi street. Ideal location for biennale visit. Francesca´s apartment is very good for long stays with a nice well equipped kitchen and a washer. The rooms are large and beds comfortable. Francesca is very helpful and responsive host.
