We had a great stay at Giomara’s and Roberts’s flat. We felt we were in the ‘real’ Venice and not surrounded by hordes of tourists. It was a great location, easy to get to the Arsenale and Giardini for the Art Biennale. It was useful to have the Coop at the top of the road and small independent shops such as the baker, greengrocer and jeweller all near by. The bar restaurant directly opposite the flat is a bonus! And the tip about where to leave our luggage on our final day was very useful.
