We thoroughly enjoyed staying in the heart of Arsenale at Giacomo’s apartment . This is a about a 5 to 10 minute walk from the Zaccaria stop. He kindly met us at the ferry and en route showed us where to find the very good supermarket which is about a 5 minute walk from the apartment. There is also a local cafe/restaurant about 50 metres away.
The apartment is very modern and well laid out. As a couple we were extremely happy there and would happily stay there again should it be available. It was in a perfect location in particular for those like us who wanted to spend time at Arsenale and Giardini for the Biennale.
