Olga’s place is just fantastic. My daughter and I stayed there for four nights during July-August for the biennale, and it’s perfectly convenient for the to both the Arsenale and Giardini. It’s out of the main tourist center and not too over-run, but still very easy to get to and from most anywhere. The apartment itself is very modern, clean, newly renovated and spacious. Olga is very kind and quick to respond. It’s on a very quiet street, yet just around the corner from great places (markets, cafes, restaurants, bars). Can’t recommend it enough
