Fantastic location for Biennale visits (Arsenale and Giardini), literally two mins from Giardini. Even without this this is a lovely location to stay in Venice, amid locals - the birds singing every day was lovely. Three mins to Giardini vaporetto stop so easy to get everywhere/buy a 24/48/72 hr ticket.. Also very convenient for bread/basic groceries (opposite) and trattoria del Tosi pretty much next door does good pizzas (we found one easily big enough for two, esp if you want dessert too). One of us doesn't walk particularly well and the convenience of everything was really helpful (and despite 2nd floor apartment). Store room for the apartment very helpful for leaving baggage if leaving late in the day. Apartment well equipped esp kitchen. All very clean. Wifi worked well (went off once and we simply unplugged at wall and plugged in again, no problem). Check in was very easy - Grace (Luca's mum) met us at Giardini vaporetto stop. Thank you Luca and Grace, it was great to be back in Venice for a few days. Ruth and Kate.
