Giacomo's place in Castello was the perfect way to Discover Venice for the first time ! My children (13-10) and my husband had enough room in the fabulous 2 bedroom, 1 bath, living room, kitchen flat. Marco also had many books about Venice and a special book for children about Venice, a set of ping pong rackets for the children to enjoy at Gibraldi park (across the street from the appartement). The apartment is clean, spacious, and in a perfect location, far from the tourist traps and crowded San Marco Square but just a 15 minute walk to be able to explore and discover this fabulous town. Our host was also very flexible, and always promptly replied to all my messages. I highly recommend you stay at Giacomo's place with your kids or alone to explore Venice--a truly magical haven ! We will definitely return and stay at your place (keeping my fingers crossed that others do not book the same week I do--lol) ! Grazie Mille Giacomo for your welcome and the incredible flat ! You definitely are a SUPER Host !!
