Giovanni is very welcoming and the apartment is well appointed. We (family with children) enjoyed staying in this quiet part of Venice, which is only a few minutes walk from the Roma bus terminal and about a half hour walk from St Marks Square. I would note that there is a bath with hand held shower head, but not a proper shower in the apartment, which could be difficult for someone who cannot easily get down to sit in the bath and get out again. But other than this, we highly recommend both the apartment and Giovanni as host.
