This apartment really is lovely and the location is unbeatable - I'd definitely recommend it. It's close to Piazza San Marco and a range of bars, restaurants and shops, and yet feels very quiet and peaceful. Giovanni was a very good host - he was in touch before we arrived to suggest which ferry to take, met us from the boat and gave some useful sightseeing and restaurant tips. All in all a great 2 nights' stay in beautiful Venice!
