We stayed one week in Eleonora's beautiful first floor apartment. The proximity to shops, bars and sights was amazing. So close to the venues for the Biennale too.
The little square in front was often filled with a passing parade of locals and tourists that made you feel part of this special city. And a neighbouring pet canary's daily song provided a delightful soundtrack to this scene.
Inside you felt secure. It is set up well with great appliances and antique furniture. An integrated dishwasher and front loading washing machine worked well. The oven and freezer didn't seem operational however. The recent bathroom renovation was great. Bed was a little small compared to what we're used to and more pillows would've been handy.
We were not aware of Venice's mosquitos. But a rather unique electronic tennis racquet zapper was provided which kept them under control and was a lot of fun to use! Very handy in Australia!!
Whenever we had queries, Eleonora's son Luca came to our rescue promptly and was extremely nice to deal with.
We would happily recommend staying here. If you're going to the Biennale, you couldn't find a better place in Venice.
