Giovanni was a great host! He was extremely responsive and helpful, providing a lot of local knowledge and recommendations for our stay in Venice. The apartment is beautiful and has every modern amenity. It was very comfortable It is also on the ground floor, which was a welcome amenity at the end of our trip. The apartment was in a great location for us - it was walking distance to the ferry port for our arrival and to the area to catch a taxi to the airport. This was very important as we arrived early in the morning and had an early flight out. The neighborhood is a little quiet, but everything is walking distance in Venice and there are restaurants close by. It was the perfect location for us. I would highly recommend, especially if you are concerned about getting to and from the apartment for your arrival and departure.
