Xenia's place is situated perfectly for a Biennale traveler. The area is reasonably away from all the tourist craziness, and has touches of local life, while being very conveniently located. The host was superbly understanding and graceful. The stylish apartment has a great bathtub which was great after a long day of walking, and it was sparkling clean. The pillows could use an upgrade, but the bed itself was comfortable.
