The apartment is in a great location, close to the Giardini-Biennale vaporetto stop and close enough to walk to the Arsenale stop for the airport boat. It's only a short walk to San Marco but far enough from the touristy craziness. Great restaurant just outside of the building and a grocery store across the street. The apartment itself was recently renovated and has everything in working order, including things that go above and beyond what most rentals offer: washing machine, hair dryer, even a curling iron. It has two floors, each with a bathroom, so can comfortably accommodate two couples. Carlo was very responsive and easy to reach. If we go back to Venice we'd love to stay there again!
