Perfect location for Biennale! Arsenale entrance (the back one on Italian pavilion side) is just on the doorstep, Giardini 10mins walk.
Via Garibaldi with shops and restaurants 5 min walk.
Arsenale vaporetto stop 15min away on foot.
Everything in the flat as described. Spacious master bedroom, small room with two single beds, and living space/kitchen downstairs. Took a while to figure out how to switch on the coffee machine, but that was the only fickle thing in the house:) (a tip - the invisible button is on the right side)
The hostess, Savina, was truly wonderful and speaks very good English. Check out was early (10am) but we could leave our luggage at their souvenir shop right next to Arsenale stop.
Would definitely recommend!
