We had a great time at this apartment. It is ideally located if you would like to visit the Biennale. All communication with Riccardo was very professional. We were picked up at the Vaporetto stop Giardini and arrived at the apartment in a few minutes. It is a tiny alleyway with a very local feel which we liked. If you like to cook at home, you will find a well equipped kitchen and a butcher, fishmonger and coop in very close proximity. It is a maisonette layout with the kitchen/living area on the first floor and the bedroom and bathroom on the second floor. The double bed was firm and very comfortable. It seems like the leather sofa downstairs is a sleep sofa so you could even have four people sleep there or five if you would also use the foldout mattress that is in the landing area of the second floor. That would be cosy though and I am not sure Riccardo wants to have five people staying at the apartment. For us it was the perfect mixture of being in the middle of Venice, being able to walk everywhere and still find bars and restaurants where tourists are in the minority.
