The apartment is simply breathtaking. Giovanna was an excellent host, meeting us at the vaporetto stop and taking us the short walk to the apartment. It was slightly chilly in Venice that day, and our daughter only had a light jacket packed, so Giovanna lent us a nice big jacket from her daughter - what hospitality! Apartment is in a very nice part of Venice, not overrun by people, but still very accessible by vaporetto and only about 20 minutes on foot to San Marco. We had a wonderful time staying here.
