This apartment is clean, quaint, and close to the site of the biennale. Ivan is an excellent host! He was communicative and extremely helpful. The location is wonderful—the neighborhood is quiet and residential but close to everything you need. The apartment is just steps away from the S. Elena vaparetto stop. Ivan made sure we were supplied with enough espresso, which was extremely kind of him. We spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor garden. This was truly like having a home away from home. I very highly recommend the apartment itself and Ivan as a host!
