Giovanni's apartment is exceptionally well located, just 3 minutes walk from the Rialto Bridge, yet tucked away down a side street without a crowd in sight. He was very accommodating when we were delayed on our arrival, and subsequently offered to meet us at a less convenient (for him) location. He gave us several recommendations for food and drink and every one that we tried was a winner. We had a great time in Venice - all in all, a great host and a great apartment.
