Giovanni was a wonderful host, providing valuable local tips on how to navigate the public transport system, places to eat and sites to see. The apartment was far more modern than we expected and an extremely comfortable base for 3 adults. The location is ideal, a block away from St Marks Square and cathedral, Doges Palace and the Corer museum. Other sites like Rialto bridge, tour meeting sites, several restaurants, and ferry stops are a short walk away. The apartment is excellently suited for short term and long term stays alike.
