Adriano's place is the perfect location if you want to discover Venice without being in the middle of tourism. The boat stops right at the end of the street and brings you to San Marco in 20 min, across the water to reach Accademia in 15 min and to the main square where you can catch the bus in 25 min. The room is quiet with a nice view outside as the apartment is on the 3rd floor. The apartment has a bohemian feel with an eclectic mix of old furniture. Therefore it can be a bit dusty. The room has its own shower, but make sure to shower before the shower next door is in use, otherwise you barely have water coming out (also not too hot). We're working in the art business, so appreciate this authenticity and it was ideal for our visit to the Venice Biennial because of its location and the charm of the host. Adriano is a very interesting and easygoing host, as is his partner Nadine. We very much enjoyed staying in their place. Thank you for the hospitality!
