We could not have picked a better apartment for our visit to the Biennale. It was a very quick and pleasant walk to both the Arsenale and Giardini, to two nearby vaporetto stops, and to our favorite street with many lovely restaurants and great people watching. Yet it was peaceful and quiet, located in a neighborhood where Venetians still actually live (laundry hanging out everywhere, families walking their dogs). We were so happy here.
The apartment is elegantly appointed and comfortable, with air conditioning in both bedrooms and great soundproofing and shutters to block out the light. There are lots of windows for natural light. The owners were gracious and also provided wonderful restaurant recommendations.
