Silvia's Giardini apartment was in a perfect quiet location out of the tourist areas and perfectly situated for visiting the biennale. Arrival was very easy, directions to the nearest boat stop clear and we were greeted and guided to the apartment when we were then shown the amenities. Any queries before and during the stay were answered promptly by Silvia. Perfect for a short stay (there was no washing machine) and a beautiful apartment. Local market, bars and restaurants all very good too. Silvia was also very accommodating and allowed us to leave our luggage past the check out time (only possible if no guests arriving that night).
