Giancarlo's place is a charming little apartment; as previously described by other guests, you can hear the gondoliers passing by the window during the day. Even though it was quite hot in Venice and there's no AC in the apartment, you can still get some relief in the evenings with just the windows opened. The location was fairly good, it was easy to walk everywhere and is close to the water station to get to and from the train station. Giancarlo was very communicative and responsive; for example, we had an issue figuring out the washer, he came soon to help us with it.
