What an absolute gem of a place - so amazingly situated for all Venice and especially good for the Biennale in our case. The apartment is stunning - a lovely mix of traditional and modern, and clean and comfortable, in a pretty street in Castello, where you feel much more like a local. All amenities are nearby, from restaurants to supermarkets and a top rated pizza maker across the street. Amazingly, given the location the apartment is also quiet, with a totally unexpected outlook to trees and flowered gardens from the rear windows. Thanks to warm and friendly hosts who answered questions and gave us top tips on where to shop and how to get to the ferry for the airport really fast! Would not hesitate to recommend.
