If you’re interested in visiting the Biennale, Castello is a hop, skip and jump away from both the Giardini and the Arsenale. Stores, cafés and restaurants on Via Garibaldi are a 5 minute or so walk from the apartment. Best of all for us was the clean, airy, light-filled apartment itself with the sweet view of a broad canal in a workday part of a city where the crush of tourists often overwhelms any sense of Venice as a “real” , lived town. The beds are wonderfully comfortable and the quiet at night actually justifies use of the term “Serenissima”. Piero is helpful in every way, with top marks for speedy responses to any questions.
Great value, beautiful flat!
