Giovanna is just lovely! She met us at the dock and walked us to the house and showed us everything we would need or want. The house is so nice. It's in a beautiful old building in a residential part of Venice. Away from the crowds. The area is really safe and charming. The apartment is right by a park, store many cafes and restaurants. I think it was the perfect place for my first stay in Venice. I will come again to Giovanna's lovely place. Thank you Giovanna
