We were really pleased with our stay with Giovanna, the apartment was much much better than the photos and surpassed our expectations. We had a wonderful stay and really loved all the special pieces of design in the recently renovated apartment - it felt spacious, well located, and allowed us some quiet time away from tourists in Venice. We initially chose the home because of everyone's comments on Danilo's tour of Venice and we also elected to participate. We saw and learned more of Venice in the hours with Danilo than we could have imagined. Danilo is very knowledgeable of Venice, shows & tells you about some of the unique aspects of the city that guidebooks skip over, and shares his love & passion for Venice with you. When we booked, we had thought that the tour was part of the stay but it is not - so for future visitors, just making sure you're aware.
