Though Gianni's place is not in mainland Venice still it is very connected to Venice. Right next to his place is a bus stop which takes you directly to Venice and Mestre station which helps you travel freely.
Gianni is a very humble and warm person who went out of his way to make our stay pleasant as our Paris trip got cancelled due to terror attack. He helped us do our flight tickets to Amsterdam and even dropped us to the airport.
Would love to go back to his place again.
