The apartment is great, large, clean, and as described. Sandra, Giacomo's mother welcomed us to the apartment. The location for us was perfect, in between the Gardini and the Arsenale. It is a somewhat less touristy area with many local people, which we really enjoyed. Fruit and vegetable vendor is right outside the front door, and the Coop grocery store is a few steps away. There is also a boat that sells fruit and vegetables in the canal just to the left of the apartment. The beds are firm. The wifi was sufficient but slow and did not work in the bedroom towards the street. We were welcomed with a bottle of champagne, chocolate, and a pastry. Thank you Giacomo and Sandra - we would stay at your place again.
