We had a fantastic stay here. You couldn't ask for a better location in Venice. Via Garibaldi is ten minutes walk from St Mark's Square but it is not a tourist-saturated area.

It has good restaurants, a great wine bar and a cheap supermarket. There are more locals than tourists, and that's a good thing. There are also stalls for fresh fish, fruit and veg during the day. If you are going for the biennale you can't get better. It is located between the arsenale and the giardini.

The apartment is lovely. The bedroom is huge, and the place is spotless. The balcony windows overlooking the street are great. Highly recommended.
