Giovanni sent us helpful directions from the airport via the express ferry and we were met at the Rialto Bridge as promised by Dino's father. He escorted us to the apartment and was very pleasant and welcoming even carrying bags for us. It was our wedding anniversary and Giovanni provided us with a chilled bottle of Proseco which was a nice touch and very much appreciated by us. Dino pointed out local restaurants and supermarkets and explained how everything worked in the apartment. This is a nice quiet apartment just round the corner from the busy city streets and in very easy walking distance of the Rialto and St Marks Square. We liked it very much and enjoyed its tranquility after hectic days of site seeing. Everything is spotlessly clean. I have no hesitation in recommending it
