Giovanna was kind, available and accommodating. She left some good tips. We liked La Vedova restaurant a lot. The house is in a quiet location yet moments away from Rialto and San Marco. The apartment is very large, with two ample bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. The windows in the bedrooms have shutters, so can be sufficiently darkened for a good sleep. The house is really nicely decorated, quiet, clean and very safe. Super charming We loved the fact you could easily reach more residential area's where boys play football on the piazza while their grandmothers drink a little spritz or coffee. The only thing to consider, is the long flight of stairs to get to the apartment. For the elderly not ideal (but then, Venice can't be done by those with difficulties walking anyway) for us not a problem at all. We loved this house.
