Giavonni's apartment is VERY WELL located in the beautiful sestiere Castello. If you're interested in seeing the Biennale and dive in in one of the sestieres off the main tourist area it's the perfect place for you. It's quiet, there are very nice restaurants around, a supermarket and you can walk by foot everywhere (Giovanni helps with tips and tricks and he has prepared a folder which provides all the necessary information). The apartment was very clean and exactly as shown in the pictures. I warmly recommend a stay at Giovanni's!
