I stayed with friends and my family here during the Venice Biennale. It is a beautiful apartment with fantastic views over the canal and also over an intimate courtyard. In true Venice style, it is steps from San Marco but on a very quiet side street. Massimo & his colleague Vania were available and friendly throughout. The washing machine was convenient, bathrooms elegant and modern, and kitchen well stocked with pots & pans for cooking! Would love to come back.
