Giacomo was a very good host. We had a great time in Venice. The apartment was very close to the Biennale and the neighborhood had plenty of bars and restaurants. For those wishing to self cater there are local bakeries, fruit and veg stalls and a good general shop. It is also an easy walk to the centre of Venice for the tourist experience. The accommodation has a lot of traditional charm with painted beams and plenty of light and space.
