Gianni was an excellent host throughout our stay at Venice. The apartment is very lovely and clean; and is even better than the photos- and a mere few steps away from Rialto Bridge. He had provided us with a fruit basket, juice, biscuits and jams; and thoughtfully made sure we had umbrellas provided as there were mild showers while we were there. He recommended an excellent restaurant to us just 2 roads away and we were not disappointed. On the day we left, he walked with us to the train station as the Grand Canal was closed for the day. We loved the entire experience and being at his apartment was just like being at a hotel. Highly recommend Gianni if you are ever planning to visit Venice.
