Silvia's apartment is located in the very convenient neighborhood of Castello, right next to the Venice Biennale. The street the apartment is on is quiet and cool even on a hot day. It's a 3 minute walk to the water, a 5 minute walk to the Giardini, and a 10 minute walk to the gorgeous and tranquil Parco delle Rimembranze, where you can read under the shade of tall trees next to the ocean. The location is a 35 minute walk to the very touristic areas (Rialto, San Marco), but in exchange, I was not confronted by huge crowds and commotion at all hours, which worked out great for my preference.
The apartment is very comfortable, with all the modern amenities, a comfortable bed, and renovated outlets with USB chargers. I didn't spend much time watching TV or cooking, since it is Venice, though the facilities are all available! Silvia and the rest of the management staff are very attentive via Whatapp, and responded to my questions promptly throughout the stay. I'd highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Venice.
