Very good communication from Luca and his mother was waiting for us at the Giardini Biennale boat stop when we arrived. She took us to the apartment and showed us where everything was including some local ristorante etc. The apartment is in a quiet residential area with lots of trees nearby. Only minutes from the boat stop and only about 15 minutes walk along the beautiful waterfront to St Mark's Square and other beautiful attractions.

Just be aware the the shower/bath is very small and a bit slippery.
