This home is a perfect refuge from the crowds that oft times overwhelm Venice. We spent the month of June there during the 2019 Biennale and were always so happy to return to our little paradise after a full day of looking at art and pushing our way through the city. Monica is a charm. She met us promptly on arrival and gave us very good information on shopping, transportation etc. and as our month unfolded any questions we had were met with immediate responses. The apartment is off the beaten path and so very quiet. We really enjoyed our nightly Aperol Spritz on the terrace overlooking the Giudecca Canal. Both the Salute Vaporetto stop(1) on the grand canal and the Spirito Santo stop(5.1/5.2) on the Giudecca Canal are steps from the apartment. We enjoyed the kitchen for making our coffee/tea and breakfast every morning and most evenings making light meals to enjoy on the terrace. The apartment is also gratefully air conditioned so during the recent heatwave that europe is (not) enjoying we were comfortable! And we travelled for a month with just carry-ons bc the apartment has a laundry room with both a washer and a dryer! If all of that wasn't enough - great service, amazing amenities, tremendous view - the apartment is beautifully decorated and very elegant. For two artists traveling to see "ART", we felt we were surrounded by it and loved every minute!
