Andrea was so kind and responsive to any questions we had, and picked us up from the water bus stop that came from the airport. He very helpfully gave us maps and pointed out the area to us, local grocery shop, restaurants etc. We felt very welcome and looked after. The apartment is in a perfect area that is quiet and tucked away from tourists. On a ground floor and the garden is just a special delight to enjoy a coffee in the morning. The place is very near the vaporetto stop fondamente nove which we found useful when we needed to travel larger distances, and also it has the water bus stop that has boats that go directly to the airport - very handy. But everything is so easy to walk around to, it's a magical place for exploring and getting lost in. We went for the Biennale so were quite busy with that. But it was a pleasure to come back to the apartment to relax, we even cooked dinner one night. The bed is really really comfortable, we loved the large mirrored wardrobe, and the garden is so sweet. The kitchen doesn't have a oven - do note that if that's something that would be important to you. We really appreciated the place being really warm and cosy during our November stay, the central heating was really efficient. Though there is little natural light in the place because of it's position, this is made up by having lots of differing lighting options throughout and the lovely garden view, and the place is just so charming with touches of art and decorations. Overall, we loved our stay here, and I wouldn't hesitate to come stay here again.
