Jacapo was waiting for us as we arrived on the transport boat. We were greeted very warmly, and he also helped us with our luggage on the short walk to his place. The apartment is in a beautiful area, right on the Grand Canal and close to many popular sights and restaurants in Venice. Piazza San Marco is within a 5-10 minute walk. The pictures in the listing do not even do justice to the actual apartment. The building has been recently renovated and everything is new, including the stylish bathroom, and all of the bath, "kitchen" and bedding accessories. The furniture is also very tasteful and lovely. Jacapo was very helpful with restaurant and sightseeing recommendations and very knowledgeable about the history and cultural aspects of his city. He and his lovely wife are charming and helpful hosts, and we can't say enough good things about our entire experience there. We would like to return to Venice in the near future and hope we will be able to stay there again.
