Appartamenti Biennale Giardini is the perfect place to stay if you are visiting the bienniale. Both the giardini and arsenale are right on the doorstep and the apartment itself is down a quite alley, in close reach of shops, pharmacies and the vaporetto stop for the airport. We were traveling with a baby and our host was so considerate in providing a travel cot and high chair which made our stay much easier. The flat is ground floor also which is important if traveling with a push chair. Communication was so easy and we were greeted at the vaporetto stop which made check-in effortless. Highly recommend.
