Olga’s place is fantastic for the Biennale. There are a few flights of stairs to negotiate but the space itself is perfect for a couple. The shared kitchen was perfect for cooking a mushroom pasta with ingredients from the coop next door, if you’re on a budget and can’t afford Venice, or if you simply want to spend some time cooking. The gardens nearby have turtles in and the Arsenals is just round the corner. We loved staying here
