This was a fantastic place and a great host. The apt was literally in St Marks square (just a street behind and very quiet) but so close that we were able to get out there early morning in pajamas to see it empty and before the crowds and hang out at night while the kids rested. Giorgio was fantastic - from the time of making the booking, he stayed connected, provided us info on restaurants and sightseeing. We went to one of his recommended restaurants and the food was great and more than food the hospitality there was fantastic, just like Giorgio’s. He met us at the boat stop, walked with us to the apt, helped my wife carry luggage, showed us the aptu and checked us in and stayed in contact during stay. Apt was great for our family of 5 (3 teens). 2 bathrooms and bedrooms really helped. Kitchen was stocked with all cooking essentials though we only used it to make coffee and breakfast. Bathrooms had good showers and the whole apt was pretty much brand new with all new fixings and furnishings. I would highly recommend and personally would stay again if I come back to Venice. Thanks Giorgio and Emanuela
