This was our third visit to Venice and the best lodging we've rented. The apartment is tastefully decorated, clean, quiet and very close to a grocery store (Coop) on Via Giuseppe Garibaldi and many local restaurants. We loved Salumeria, Trattoria alla Rampa and La Serra dei Giardini (for morning coffee). The apartment also couldn't be more conveniently located for visiting the two main Biennale venues but still gives you the charming residential neighborhood feeling of Sestiere Castello. It was an easy, scenic walk to many of the more popular tourist sites. Francesca was prompt and helpful when we had questions. She also connected us with a local company, Veneziacentopercento (very close by on Calle dei Preti, 1980) when we needed to store luggage securely for a reasonable fee on our last day.
