We loved staying at Giovanni's appt.
The view from the Windows were amazing, we loved watching the passing parade of vaparetos and gondalas cruising down the Grand Canal.
The area is a short stroll from all the main attractions, and you can find a supermarket near the Rialto bridge only 10 minutes walk away.
If we went to Venice again, we would love to stay at this amazing appt again.
P.S. If you get the chance I recommend a day trip by train to Verona.
P.P.S. If your looking for the clothes washing machine youll find it in the common area near the lift.
Oh, by the way, there's about 40 stairs to climb as your on the 4th floor, but the view is worth it.
