Rent direct from the owner, no property managers with hidden cost! My cozy apartment is at the ground floor and has a little private court in the green. It has a small living room with a sofa bed (two singles), a separated kitchen, a big double room and a bathroom with shower. It is a well decorated and quiet apartment out of the touristic bustle but near the center. Saint Mark square, considered to be the very center of the town, is at only 10 minutes walking distance. While on the other direction, still very close to the house, there is the via Garibaldi, a colorful street, vibrant with restaurants and café bars, where venetians love to stroll or have a spritz. You can find here atms, pharmacies and food shops, a supermarket open until 9:00 pm (good and cheap local gastronomy). Also at walking distance two parks, Giardini and Sant’Elena, offer a relaxing pause in the shade and nice playgrounds for your children. This side of the city opens up to the lagoon, and offers amazing views and romantic sunsets. In addition, with three waterbus stops you can reach the Lido with its sandy beaches and many restaurants and pizzerias. All these features make the Arsenale district the preferred choice by tourists who already know Venice and are interested both in contemporary art (as the Biennale Expo takes place here) and in the charm of sharing habits and rituals with friendly venetians. In many years a host my greatest satisfaction is to receive reservations from guests who come back for a second and sometimes even fourth time! Another plus of my house is that it is easy to reach, a big advantage in a city that is like a maze and without cars. The waterbus stop "Arsenale" is at few minutes from the house and there is only one bridge to cross with your luggage! At the same stop there is also the "Alilaguna" direct link to Marco Polo airport. Waterbus tickets are quite expensive in Venice, but from the house you can reach on foot most of the main touristic sites. We have set a minimum interval of 24 hours between a departure and a new arrival, during which the apartment will be thoroughly cleaned with disinfectants and areated.
