Marco was a lovely and chatty host who answered all our queries extremely fast, was flexible with the check in - which was greatly appreciated - and came to pick us up at the vaporetto station to show us the way. The flat was perfectly located for us biennale goers, a short walk away from both the Arsenale and the Giardini, in a slightly less touristic and thus quieter area. Whilst the entrance hall is clearly in need of TLC the flat itself has been done up beautifully and has all the modern amenities. The only minuscule downsides were that we could hear the neighbours walking upstairs - but it’s an old building and is to be expected, there is nothing to do ! - and the bed in the single room being less comfortable than in the 2 other rooms (which were great). Overall I really recommend the lovely flat and host and will book again for the next biennale !
