From the moment Giorgio met us at the vaporetto stop and took us through the maze that is Venice to the apartment, we knew we were in for a treat. The first surprise was how close we were to St. Mark’s. Just a minute’s walk will see you in the famous square. The second surprise was the huge apartment, with everything taken care of. Giorgio truly has thought of everything. Maps and recommendations, soaps and plenty of towels. The apartment was clean and modern with touches of Venice throughout. We had a wonderful time in glorious Venice and Giorgio’s apartment made it more perfect. By the way, we took a gondola ride from near the Hard Rock Cafe and it was perfect.
