Giovanna's place was absolutely amazing, the renovations they did really make the space feel very homey and fully furnished. The location is great, just a few minutes walk from the vaporetto and St. Mark's square, as well as plenty of great food/wine places within seconds.
The highlight of our stay here was going on a tour with Giovanna's father in law, Danilo. He's a former gondolier who now offers to take people around town that stay at Giovanna's place, and it is by far the best thing we did in our stay in all of Italy. Danilo showed us a part of Venice that most tourists don't get to see, including the gondola and oar making shops that exist in venice. I can't speak highly enough about his tour, it is well worth it.
Would definitely stay here again, as the location is great, and everything about check in was exquisite. Giovanna was readily available with answers to any questions we had, and gave us a great list of places to see while we stayed there.
