Giovanna's place was as pictured, spacious, uniquely styled, clean and bright.
Check in was a little messy. We were advised to wait at a local cafe (Magna Bevi Tasi, lovely place! So nice we ate there many times!) where we we expected to meet Giovanna but instead met a friend of hers. She was lovely and showed us around the apartment. This seemed strange at first, but in the end I believe it was just a miscommunication.
We had a great stay! The Apartment was in a great location! There are many steps up to the apartment, but such is the case with most apartments in Venice. The internet connection was good, there were plenty of fresh towels, kitchen supplies etc. but the television did not work.
We had an issue with bulbs our first two nights there, a lot of them were out of juice and made the place very dark at night. However, we raised the issue with Giovanna and she rectified this for us, in person! Apologising for the mistake as she had last been in the apartment before the clocks changed and so hadn't tested the lighting. This was seemed like quite an oversight, but once rectified the apartment felt a lot more cosy and comfortable! We were delighted to have met Giovanna, to put a face to the person we had been speaking to over the phone, and she was very nice and pleasant with us!
Grazie Giovanna for handling our concerns during our stay!
