Giovanna is an excellent host, very responsive on email and whatsapp. She met us at the pier, and led us to the apartment, which was very kind of her. Then she showed us how to use the appliances and equipment in the apartment, including the washing machines and how to put our laundry out. Giovanna also gave us good recommendation on how to get around Venice. The apartment is very well-equipped, especially if you plan to cook in the kitchen. It is also very clean and the beds are nice and firm. The apartment is located near a local market, where you can find a chocolatier as well as floating fruits and vegetable market in the mornings, as well as a wine on tap store. There is also a Coop nearby. It is located in a safe neighbourhood among local residential area, so very safe and the Italians are so kind and friendly. The apartment is 15 minutes walk away from St Mark's and about 20 minutes walk to the Rialto market. We had a very good stay at this apartment and we highly recommend it.
