Help choosing an apartment in Venice?
 
I found something in Venice. I have a question, which of these would be better accommodations, for Jun last week:
- Giardini Guesthouse Located located near Modern Art "Biennale" site and the "Arsenale" (with no A/C) OR Apartmento Lidia near Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo (with A/C) ?

I personally would go with Apartmento Lidia for both location and the A/C. It can get pretty humid and hot that time of year.

TTT for Sean.

Hi Statia, I had got it wrong on the a/c. Giardini has a/c, Lidia has no a/c. Would you still stick with your reco?

That's a tough one. I personally would prefer to not be all the way over by the Arsenale, but you could be a bit miserable with no A/C in June. My first trip was in July and we had a small A/C unit. We didn't need it all the time, but we are used to tropical weather, too.

If it were me, I would probably go with the apartment with A/C that time of year. Better to be comfortable than miserable. And, Venice is quite compact so it honestly doesn't make that big of a difference what area you stay in.
