We had a great stay in Venice at Giacomo's place. The location is fantastic and was even better than I was expecting. It's about a 15 minute walk from St Lucia train station, otherwise there is a water taxi 2 mins away. You're pretty much in the heart of Venice from your doorstep and it's easy to walk everywhere.
The apartment was clean and big enough for 3-4 people. Lots of kitchen utensils and basics were provided. We enjoyed the free coffee too!!
Giacomo was a great host and easy to communicate with. He kindly let us store our bags at another apartment as we had a late flight - we really appreciated this!
This is great value for money if you are looking to stay on the island! Would definitely recommend!
