ivan's appartment is very confortable, spacious, ultra clean and the decoration charming ina sweet kitchy way. the neighbourhood is great, away from the frantic tourism. you get a true feeling of living with the venetos. the surroundings are quiet but with a friend atmosphere. the location is very convenient for the biennale and the lido beaches. the santa elena vaporetto stop very close is very convenient with very frequent boat to all the main locations of venise. and ivan is a very kind, helpful person. he came to pick me up and show the way when i arrived. he makes sure you have a few good things to eat and even wine... he is available for advice on venise...really adorable! altogether a great place to enjoy venise! adjusting to work and real life isthe only problem after that..
