Hands down, Venice for the week of Christmas was a wonderful experience. The apartment is in a quite area that is sort of difficult to find. So you need to make sure that you have a map. Thankfully a nice British couple gave us their map and we were able to find the apartment. If we did not have the generosity of strangers, then we would have remained lost with the instructions that we were given. The communication with Giovanni’s was limited and I did not receive the information about getting into the apartment until the day that I was flying to Italy. The instructions were to call a women who takes care of the place, Fatima, once we arrived at the apartment. For me Fatima was a delight! She was a very kind women and I really enjoyed meeting her. The apartment itself was beautiful. The views are amazing and you get a great feel for the city. The apartment was advertised as a 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom. In reality, the place is a two bedroom, one and half bath. One bathroom was beautiful, while the other one was a sink and a shower head over a toilet. Overall, I loved the apartment and because of the views I can overlook the bathroom. I was disappointed in the lack of communication I got from Giovanni leading up to our stay. We are definitely not the type of people who need our hands held, but some basic communication should be standard. I really wanted to write a 5 star review because I loved Venice so much, but the communication style of Giovanni needs some work.
