Claudia's apartment is lovely and interacting with Luciana a total delight! The apartment is fully equipped and the location while unbeatable for the Bianale would be excellent for any visit to Venice. One should be aware that even though the airport boat arrives at Arsenale there are even two closer ports for catching vaporettas (btw single ride tickets can be purchased immediately on board from the person docking and undocking the boat- although multi-use day or days tickets are most often a better deal). We loved the little store just a few steps away - and the prices especially for Italian wines and grappa were absolutely, shockingly, miniscule. Two minor imperfections - the shower stall is a bit cramped - more suitable for penance than pleasure and the smaller bedroom loses access to air conditioning when its door is closed.
