I travel to Venice often—I’ve come at least once a year for the last five—and I am certain you simply cannot do better than this little casetta, especially if you’re going to the Biennale, or if you just want some peace and quiet while visiting Venice, and to be near a few good restaurants that serve real Venetian food at a decent price. The Biennale is right outside the door and it took only a few minutes walking to get there, yet, I’ve never slept this well in Venice—it’s completely silent at night inside the house. It’s extremely clean. Also, the air-conditioning is both ecologically-sound and works well; it was a relief to have the cool air when we stopped in during the afternoons to rest. It was easy to get around to other neighborhoods, especially because the vaporetto stop is so close. It was also really nice that Cristina left us a few treats. She was really pleasant in all of her communications, was available to answer any questions, and helped us out last minute when we couldn’t work the lock (which was a fluke—the lock was not difficult at any other point). A great airbnb experience.
