Giacomo was an excellent host with great communication ahead of time and waiting for us half an hour in the rain when we mixed up our meeting spot. He walked us to the apartment which was very close to everything but in a quiet neighbourhood. The layout was very nice and spacious with a separate sitting area and the bonus of a washer and dryer that we could use. As the tides were high Giacomo went out and bought plastic boots that we could use to move through the water. He was also very helpful with suggestions of places to go. We would highly recommend Giacomo and his apartment to anyone who wants to visit Venice.
