Adriano and Barbara met us at the apartment soon after we arrived and gave us some wonderful hints for our stay in Venice. They had left breakfast food in the fridge, and the place was perfect for us and our teenage daughters. The a/c was a bonus at the end of a hot day of sightseeing! We loved the area, and walked and walked from one gorgeous spot to another, though we also used the vaporetto and took a 2 euro gondala ride as our hosts had suggested (a great tip!) We hadn't realized the Venice architecture Bienale would be on, but we happily spent some hours there. Adriano and Barbara were fabulous hosts and we highly recommend staying here. Many thanks!
