Gianmarco's apartment is very clean, comfortable and lovely. He was incredibly helpful with getting our bags upstairs. There is an elevator plus a short flight of stairs from the elevator to the top floor where the apartment is located. The master bedroom overlooks the quiet canal and neighborhood - very picturesque. Gianmarco was very helpful with explaining the appliances that were available to us (coffee maker, etc.). The apartment is about 10 minutes from the train station and there's an even faster route to the San Marcuola Casino vaporetto stop. There is a lovely street nearby, Rio Tera S. Leonardo, with loads of little restaurants and shops. We really enjoyed the apartment and the location. We will definitely look into renting from Gianmarco again when we return to Venice.
