Pietro’s place is exactly as described in the listing. It is modern, spotlessly clean, minimalist but comfortable. The apartment is in a great location -especially for the Biennale as it’s 15 minutes walk from the Arsenale. It’s off the beaten track so very quiet but only 5-10 minutes from busy restaurants and bars. A good supermarket is 5 minutes away.
Pietro (and his father) are welcoming and charming and worked hard to allow us to check in early meeting us off the water taxi on to the apartment’s private deck on the canal. Pietro was quick to respond if we had a question but although living next door never intruded. The area is very safe and the apartment very secure. The air conditioning worked very well throughout. It’s worth knowing that there are two apartments next door to each other with an adjoining door. So for larger parties hiring both to sleep around 12 people is a great option. In case you’re concerned there was not a sound from next door. Overall a great option for those wanting a contemporary white walled apartment rather than a traditional ‘Venetian’ interior.
