The apartment was just as listed; cosy and really spatious. All the facilities were well equipped and maintained. It was situated in a safe, quiet area and it took us about 15-20 minutes to Rialto and San Marco (we walk quite slow). The building had no elevators so we had to walk up and down the stairs, but the city itself has a lot of ups and downs anyway. Giovanni was a really nice person; I could not reach him at the airport because my cellphone was missing, but he was just waiting for us at the stop for more than 30 minutes, I guess. We tried eating at resturants he recommended and they were quite reasonable and fine. Venice is highly touristic so his advice was helpful. We highly recommend Giovanni's aparment.
