Ari's place is very small, but wonderful for 1-2 people looking for an out-of-the-way place to stay in Venice. One thing we didn't realize when we booked was that the apartment is on the ground level, which means you cannot have the curtains open otherwise everyone walking by can see you sitting in the bed. Additionally, the noises from the street can clearly be heard in the apartment. That said, we still enjoyed our stay there, and Ari was always quick to respond to our messages, and met us at the vaporetto stop right on time.
