Our stay at Giacomo's lagoon view apartment was great!
The apartment is beautiful and modern, well decorated, spacious and has good amenities (AC in bedroom and living room, full kitchen with dishwasher, cable tv, a walk-in closet with lots of storage, and a nicely furnished terrace).
The view was the selling point for us to rent this apartment, and we were not disappointed! There are 3 windows in the kitchen/living room, and he views are unbelievable. Sitting there, eating and relaxing, watching the waves and the boats sail by... that's what Venice is about!
Located on the top floor, the apartment has double security: a separate locked door and a special key for the elevator means that no other guests have access to the floor. Furthermpre, not sharing the floor meant that we did not hear other guests and neighbours whatsoever. Safe and quiet.
The apartment is not just well located within the building, but in the city as well. The location is convenient (Orto and Fondamente Nove stations have Alilaguna ferry links to the airport; S. Marcuola and Cà d'Oro stations on the Grand Canal give access to the whole city; all of which are accessible on foot within 10min). It is also in a quiet neighbourhood with nice pubs, wine bars and restaurants, away from the hussle and bustle of the more touristy areas.
Our overall experience was great. Communication was fast and efficient; check in was simple and without incident (we even got to check in early, which was perfect); check out was quick and easy.
We had a lovely stay and do not hesitate to recommend Giacomo's place.
