Silvia's apartment is lovely and in a great location for visiting the Biennale, just a very short walk away. I really enjoyed the neighborhood which was quiet, filled with locals, and close to a great park. I was in Venice for work so the construction in the apartment below which began at 7:30am and lasted into the late afternoon was a bit of a distraction. The Wifi also did not function at all throughout the trip which was an inconvenience. I would recommend Silvia's apartment if these two factors wouldn't effect your stay.
