This is a great place to stay when you visit the Biennale or just want to stay away a little from the most crowded parts and feel more part of the inhabited city. You can get your vegetables from the barge on the canal and fish from the stall or the fishmonger and pastry from the corner shop - just perfectly wonderful. The apartment is impeccably clean and very nicely furnished: it has beautiful daylight and view on the canal - but is still quiet and peaceful. The best place to stay, simply. 6 nights and feeling great in Venice. Elizabeth
