We had another lovely stay at Ema's little apartment (my second in two years). As everyone says, the location is perfect for visiting the Arsenale and the Biennale Gardens on foot - and the vaporetto stop is close by if you want to venture further. LOTS of eating/drinking opportunities on Via Garibaldi, as well as in the little streets to the north and west of the apartment (CoVino is tiny, so book ahead, but is superb for imaginative food and fabulous, out-of-the-ordinary wines). The two fans kept the apartment nicely cool during an unexpectedly hot spell. And everyone’s right: Ema is a really lovely host - speedy replies to any queries, and a warm welcome on arrival.
