My family of four spent three nights in Gian Ruggero’s apartment in late June. The place is a jewel: it is located in a lively area of Venice, three minutes walk from a good-sized grocery store, an excellent bakery, and good restaurants and cafes. It is very easy to reach with the vaporetto or on foot from the train station. The apartment itself is wonderful: it has just been entirely renovated, and has state of the art kitchen appliances and air conditioning. The shower and whole bathroom are brand new and absolutely luxurious. The place is extremely quiet at night, and it was impeccably, almost surgically clean when we arrived. The apartment is spacious and very bright with natural light. It has two good sized bedrooms, a large living room, kitchen, and a very large entrance room. Most wonderfully for a non Veneziano the windows of the living room, and of one of the bedrooms open directly on a Venetian street, that is a canal, where boats and gondolas go by. I had visited Venice many times before, but I had never experienced such a gorgeous, luxurious and comfortable accommodation. The host was most gracious: very solicitous providing any needed information, and very welcoming. We even found some delicious ground coffee and biscotti from a local pasticceria upon our arrival. I hope that we will be able to come again soon. I highly recommend this apartment and this host.
