Yumi's apartment was perfect for our 3 days in Venice. The Arsenale is a great location, you feel like a local, incredibly close to all main tourist spots such as St Marks and yet a relaxing place to return to. We bought fresh fish from the market on Garibaldi Street for new years dinner as the kitchen was well stocked with all utensils, pots and plates and it was lovely to play a few records, drink wine and feel at home. Highly recommend staying near the Arsenale and at Yumi's place. We want to come again.
