Brilliant location. Brilliant apartment. Brilliant host. Brilliant!
Giovanna communicated in advance of our stay and met us from the SAN Zaccaria water bus stop to lead us to the apartment.
She is a warm and funny person and made us extremely welcome.
The top floor apartment is great. Well-appointed and very clean. Everything worked . There’s a tiny but cute terrace, where you can enjoy the rooftops of Venice and peek at the canals below.
In terms of location it is perfect. A few minutes to St Mark’s Square and only ten or so to the Rialto. Plenty of amenities close by. Ultimately, everything on the main island is maximum 30 minutes walk, so the apartment really is the perfect base.
It was warm when we were there, so the air con was welcome. At night we opened the windows (they are protected by mosquito nets) and you can hear Venetian life going on all around.
Giovanna is a fabulous, helpful host and we even went out with her and her children and family for pizza one night!
A lovely trip to a magical place and we have already decided to return.
