Brand new complete renovation. Simple and efficient lay out in this quiet, bright, dry and well ventilated apartment with 5 windows to the canal and 1 to the back = good crossed ventilation and lots of light (not the rule in Venice). 3rd floor unit (4th floor for US and Canada), no elevator. Outdated yet safe common areas (old Venetian building). Air Conditioning, ceiling fans, screens and black out shutters in all windows, abundant hot water heat, king size bed with firm mattress, good size shower (for Italy), washer & dryer, dishwasher, safety box, etc.

He has traveled extensively and believes traveling is the fuel to one's imagination. He usually makes architectural tours out of his time in different cities.

Overlooking Canal Rielo de San Daniel in the Castello borough of Venice, where you can get a taste of everyday Venetian life away from the crowds. 20 minutes walk from Piazza San Marco. 10 minutes walk from the direct vaporetto (boat) to and from the Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE). 7 minutes walk to both of the Biennale locations, 2 minutes to the closest supermarket (140m/153 yd away), 8 minutes away from the Biennale and Sant'Elena Parks.This is where you’ll rub elbows with the residents of Venice going about their daily lives, something you will not experience if you confine your stay in Venice to the major sights of San Marco and the Rialto. Whether it’s locals out buying their groceries for whatever they will be cooking that night, or neighbors meeting up for a drink and a bit of socializing, or children playing together in the street, this is local Venetian living at its best. Via Garibaldi houses the local farmacia, the fish mongers, household goods stores, a few clothing shops, a barber, the wine shop, cheese vendor, bakeries and the the old fruit and vegetable boat, still doing business there on the canal as it has for ages. Everything you need for daily life.
