This is a great place to stay in Venice! Gianluca is a very friendly host with many great suggestions on things to do and places to eat in Venice. When we arrived in Venice, he met us at the closest boat stop and lead us back to the apartment. I greatly appreciated this, as this was my first time in Venice and I think I would have had trouble finding the apartment otherwise. He also helped us carry our bags upstairs! The apartment itself is fantastic and very clean. It is exactly as it appears in the pictures. The apartment is located in a very central part of town, but is just enough off the beaten path to feel private. It would be hard to beat this apartment for the price. I will definitely stay here the next time I am in Venice, and I suggest you do the same.
