We chose this apartment because it was close to the Biennale venues but soon discovered its other location advantages - Castello is much quieter and simpler than most other areas of Venice. We had two weeks, so explored a lot and always appreciated coming home. The apartment is so well equipped, beautifully decorated and cared for, and very clean. Roberta provides lots of printed information. The map showing good restaurants was very handy; but if you are too tired to cook or walk, just go downstairs to Jonny's. Top notch.
