This place is a gem. The location is perfect, especially for those interested in the Biennale (less than ten minutes to the Arsenale and the Giardin)i, and maybe fifteen to the duomo, the apartment is beautiful and spacious, and the communication with the generous host, Luca, could not be better. We were picked up from the vaporetto despite the delay of our train and accompanied to the lovely apartment, and provided with wonderful tips about genuine Venetian restaurants. The apartment is sparkling clean, and the bed is comfortable. The bedroom is by a small alley that can get busy and loud at night, but that is to be expected when having the privilege to live in the middle of Venice. One very minor suggestion: The induction stove works great, but it may be wise to just throw out the pans and pots that don't work with an induction stove since they cannot be used anyway. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and we hope to return. Mille grazie!
