Nice apartment in a quiet neighborhood, 15 minute walk along the scenic waterfront to St Mark's Square but away from the tourist crowds. A few minutes walk from the entrance to the Giardini venue of the Biennale as well as the Giardini vaporetto stop. So the location was excellent. There is city-wide a strict enforcement of separating trash and bringing it to the trash boat early in the morning (between 6 and 8am!) which was a bit of a pain, but in hindsight that could have been avoided that early morning wake up by bringing our trash to the park trash cans instead - we generated so little that I actually felt kind of silly handing over our trash in such a large bag that was only a quarter full.
