We loved this place! The apartment is charming with a good kitchen if you like to cook. It’s a quick vaporetto ride or 1/2 hour walk to Piazza San Marco. It’s right next to the two main Biennale exhibition areas. But it’s a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. The neighborhood is quiet and low key with everything you need, including restaurants, cafes, fresh fruits and vegetable stalls, a little fish market, and a supermarket. Giacomo is a wonderful host. Highly recommended!
