We come to Venice for each of the past five Biennale. As much as we love it, the city crowds and heat can become oppressive. Years ago we started staying on the Lido for its quiet, is trees and the refreshing sea breezes. Additionally, it is just two vaporetto stops from the Biennale Giardini. Now that we have stayed at this apartment, we have been completely spoiled. Staying at this property was one of our best experiences with AIRBNB. The apartment is as described...perhaps better. It is open and bright with beautiful views of the dramatic Venice sky. The kitchen is stocked with all the tools you might need. The beds are comfy. There is plenty of hot water...even for six people. Petter and Lisa were the best of hosts. They were committed to assuring an easy arrival and eager to make sure that there were no problems. Enjoy!
