Luca’s apartment was great, very spacious, sparkling clean and in a lovely quiet location full of Venetians. It was a wonderful experience away from the chaos of the tourists hotspots but sill near enough by water bus or by foot to the city centre. Giardini and Arsenale for the Biennale are a stones thrown away. Via Garibaldi nearby has a medium sized Coop Supermarket handy food shopping and a couple of fun bars like Strani and El Refolo open late for spritz and cicchetti. Luca is a great guy who gave us some inside tips on where to eat. We will surely be returning! :)
