It was very nice stay, exactly how it is said – live as a real Venetian! Giovanna was very helpful and responsive. Location is perfect – in Rialto, 7-10 min to San Marco on feet and 10 min to Fondamente Nove from where you can travel to near islands. Apartment is really spacious, with breathtaking views on a canal from window. We loved the way Giovanna decorated her flat especially we liked paintings and old advertisements. I highly recommend Giovanna’s apartment to those who want to touch the spirit of Venetian life.
