Description Arch Angel: Venezia

Close to the Venetian Arsenal and the Biennale Gardens, this apartment offers a stay in one of Venice’s more residential neighbourhoods, perfect for those looking to avoid the hustle and bustle of tourist crowds. Though the decor is more practical than characterful, the space isn’t without its charm, with exposed brick walls and large arched windows overlooking the communal courtyard. Though space will be limited should you choose to use the sofa bed, the home benefits from two bathrooms which are bound to make mornings smoother ahead of a day of sightseeing. We recommend taking the water bus one stop to Lido beach, particularly in the summer.

Home truths:
*This home is laid out over two floors with internal stairs leading up to the mezzanine bedroom
*At capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area – this will be at the expense of lounge space, however, so we think this home is better suited to two guests
*There's no desk here, but the dining table can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*The building's entrance and courtyard garden are shared with the other residents
*The nearest supermarket is 400 metres away
