I actually did not stay in the flat pictured in the ad but I did not mind the one I was in. I could not but recommend Giuliano's place and services (and believe me, I am picky). For so, so many reasons. It was a fantastic, calm, clean, very functional and well equipped flat, decorated with care and Venetian style furniture to give you an feel and experience of the city. The WIFI is very good and kitchen perfectly equipped - I could cook like no one's watching ;) It was really perfectly located (I could not pick it better even if I planned and tried, which I did not). It's only two bridges away from the bus station and one bridge away from the train station (which, trust me, is very important when you arrive with you luggage and you have to cross Venice, which is all about bridges). I saw so many tourists that had to walks across the entire city with their suitcases to reach their hotels or accomodations and I was really happy I did not have to do that :) It is also located on the first floor so it's super convenient. It's very close to a boat station from which you can get anywhere in the Venice and to Venice Lagoon (splendid). There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and very convenient grocery shops (open till 22pm) as well as a pharmacy open very late too). As for Giuliano, upon my arrival he spent almost an hour and a half with me, giving me various tips about Venice and its surroundings (itineraries, museums, restaurants and osterias to visit and try, and ticket options to choose, etc, etc). He was very responsive and proactive, came to collect the litter (the system is quite complicated in the city to keep it clean ), allowed for a late check up and for my leaving my suitcase for a quick visit of the Jewish Ghetto and museum (located about five minutes away from the flat). He even helped me found a hairdresser, and was very reassuring ("remember Kamila, you are not alone here":), that was super nice). I could not ask for a better experience of Venice that I had thanks to my stay at Giuliano's place. I promised to myself I would return, well, because the city is beyond magical and because of well I was welcomed by Giuliano.
