This was my wife's and mine first time to Venice and we really enjoyed Giacomo's place. The top floor apartment was in a quiet part of Venice away from all noise and crowded streets. A huge plus for me. There are plenty of very good restaurants nearby. In fact we ate all our dinners on the same street 5 minutes from the apartment. Water taxi stops are a 5 minute walk and getting to the major tourist spots ranged from 10 - 20 minutes walking. The place was clean, spacious and had a great view of the rooftops and of the water looking towards Murano. The host left plenty of useful tips and suggestions for the city. I would be happy to stay here again, thanks Giacomo!
