For a visit to the Biennale this apartment is perfectly located very close to the Arsenale and Giardini and away from the tourist swarms at San Marco. However, if you want to see San Marco (and you should see it once), this is also a short walk away.
Finding the apartment is extremely easy in a city that is a labyrinth of small alleyways. It’s situated very close to the vaporetto stop which makes it a good place to be if you also want to travel further out to other neighborhoods/islands.
Great places to eat and drink nearby that don’t feel like tourist traps. We’d recommend, Salvmeria for chicchetti, C'è Pizza E Pizza for takeout pizza and If you can get a reservation and have the means, we’d recommend CoVino for an outstanding, unforgettable dinner.
The only downside to this apartment is the linens. It could use fresher and larger towels as well as a top sheet for the bed that was at least as big as the bed. The pillows are also very firm which may not be an issue if you sleep on your back. Sadly i don’t and I didn’t get the best sleep here.
Plus side: the projector with Netflix and Amazon Prime came in handy on rainy evenings when we couldn’t be on the terrace.
