Sitting steps from the Arsenale and the Biennale, this apartment puts you in one of Venice's quieter, more authentic corners – the kind of neighbourhood where the city actually feels lived in. St Mark's Basilica is a fifteen-minute walk, the Rialto Bridge a twenty-minute stroll, and the Grand Canal around ten minutes on foot, so the whole city is yours to cover at your own pace. Back home, the living area is a welcome retreat after hours on the streets. It's simple, but it has everything you need.
