We had the most wonderful stay at Giovanni's apartment. It is in the perfect location near the Rialto bridge, but is very quiet and is clean with comfortable bed and reasonable sized bathroom by Italian standards. Giovanni and his father were so welcoming, even leaving us with some local biscotti. Giovanni met us at the ferry to escort us to the apartment. They spent time going over a map of Venice which they provided for us, recommending restaurants etc. We tried a few of their recommendations and they were fantastic. All in all, we had a wonderful time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment.
