Gianna's place was very clean, very safe, and we loved having the canal right outside our window to watch gondolas go by! Gianna was a very good host and easy to communicate with. She had her sister Francesca meet us at the water bus stop, which was very helpful. Francesca showed us the way to the apartment and was very welcoming. Once we got to the apartment, Francesca had a map of Venice for us and showed us how to get to the major sites. She also pointed out on the map how we could take the water bus to the airport and looked up the times that it would be leaving so we would know for our departure date. She also showed us on the map where to catch the water bus to go over to Murano and Burano which was really helpful, as we were able to escape Venice for a day and explore those two islands. Overall, our stay in Venice was the best and Gianna's place was one of our favorite places that we stayed during our travels. Gianna and Francesca were awesome hosts and we would definitely recommend staying here!
