Giovanni is a wonderful host. He met us at the waterbus and walked us through the labyrinth of Venetian streets to the apt. He oriented us with his personalized map and guidebook locating grocery stores, waterbus stops for the airport and location of the sights we wanted to visit. We arrived on Aug 15th, a feast day, so many of the shops were closed. On his way home, he made a special trip to check on the grocery store and came back to tell us that it was open. With a well-lit stairwell, beautiful bathroom, well-equipped kitchen and clean, comfortable beds, Giovanni's apt was a peaceful sanctuary at the end of a day of exploring. I would absolutely recommend Giovanni's apt for a stay in Venice.
