Giovanni was a great host! He met us right at the dock when we arrived and led us to the apartment which would've been difficult to find on our own the first time. The apartment is very nice, modern, updated, and very clean. The 2 bedrooms fit our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teens) perfectly with twins in one room and a queen in the other. Another person could sleep on the couch if needed. Giovanni showed us all the pertinent information and amenities and has compiled a list of recommendations with an accompanying map which was very helpful in planning our visit/meals. We enjoyed staying in a true neighborhood vs. a tourist zone with St. Mark's an easy 10 minute walk away. It did get warm during our stay and the AC was a definite "nice to have" while we were at the apartment. I recommend this apartment to anyone staying in Venice.
