Giovanna, the person in charge, gave us a warm welcome and was very supportive as our arrival had delayed (thanks a lot again for your patience!). From Piazzale Roma its been a 700m walk to the apartment.
Giacomo's place offered a lot of space for us 3 adults and a 3-years-old child who stayed for 3 nights to discover the Biennale 2017. There was still room for at least one more person.
The apartment was located in a student-like area adjacent to the touristic hot spots, perfectly connected to the airport Marco Polo, historical sights and galleries as well as to the venues of the Biennale. We used the Venezia Unica City pass to get around by public transport including transport from and to the airport. In a walking distance you will find nice, local, less touristic and affordable trattorias and osterias (thanks again for your suggestions!).
We liked the unique, oldfashioned and arty interior design of the apartment that has been left in its original set-up from the 50ties or 60ties. It was perfectly equipped for cooking after a visit at the fish market or hanging out after a day of lot of walking.
I highly recommend a stay at Giacomo's.
Warm regards from Berlin!
