I was in Venice with my 1 year old daughter, and for my purposes the flat was just perfect. Located on a quiet side street, two steps from San Samuele vaporetto station, one minute from Campo San Stephano with its restaurants and shops. On Calle dela Boteghe there are two local food shops, also one minute walk from the flat. Art galleries all around. Four Biennale pavilionnes are actually nextdoor. Many more within half an hour walk - with a baby, that is 15 minutes for pram-less people. Palazzo Fortuny was fantastic - thanks, Giovanna. We could easily walk to San Marco, La Fenice and Academia Bridge, too.
Giovanna made our arrival very comfortable, met us on the vaporetto station, explained everything about the flat, gave a lot of good advice and left us a map and booklets about the Biennale.
The flat is clean and well-equipped. Enough utensils for propper cooking, good bathroom, comfortable bed. I would stay there again any day.
