Giovanni’s apartment was the perfect retreat to come back to after long days of sightseeing. The location couldn’t have been better. Quiet but close to everything. It surprised us how short the walking distance was between areas. May be because we were in awe of the sights and our picture taking. Giovanni was a wonderful host. His place was super clean, and I am crazy about that. He met us at the water stop and walked us to the apartment. He even helped take a lot of luggage up three floors. That’s going above and beyond. He had every answer to questions neatly put together in a binder, one we could refer back to. Loved the restaurant suggestions. I did so much research on places to stay in Venice. I narrowed it down to three and decided on Giovanni’s based on description and reviews. You won’t be disappointed staying here. We hope to return sometime in the not so distant future. Thank you, Giovanni.
