Venice's Arsenale is a working-class district named after the naval shipyard that, for centuries, made the city the great economic power that it was. Here, locals rub shoulders with tourists at the Biennale's contemporary art and architecture exhibitions held on alternate years.
Small streets and cul-de-sacs, interlock with canals that open out suddenly onto the vast blue waters of the Bacino di San Marco (St. Mark's Basin). Shops of all kinds can be found nearby along Via Garibaldi.
The apartment itself is on the beautiful Campo Arsenale and is only a 5–minute walk from a vaporetto (Arsenale) and a 20–minute walk from the Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square).
This traditional third-floor apartment (38 m²) is bright and sunny.
The living room (13 m² - north and east facing) offers a view of the canal and of Campo Arsenale and contains a sofa, some chairs, a round table, and a stereo.
The bedroom (12 m² - east facing) has a double bed, a clothes rack, and a dresser.
The front door opens onto the kitchen/dining room (8 m²), the central room in the apartment. It is fully equipped with all the modern conveniences (gas stove, refrigerator) and a cupboard, a table, and four chairs.
The bathroom (2 m²) is small and fitted with a shower and sink.
The toilet is in a separate room (1.4 m²).
There is a small hallway (1.4 m² - south facing) between the bathroom and the toilet that overlooks the yard.
