We were four people staying three rooms. Giovanna's place is beautiful, comfortable and warm in the November cold.
It has two bathrooms and a well-stocked kitchen which we made full use of.
It's conveniently located in a quiet but central location, easily accessible via walking and water taxi with nearby restaurants and shops.
You have to climb some steps to reach the apartment, which is on the first floor (2nd floor to Americans).
Giovanna was very kind in arranging for a porter service (€25) to help haul our 6 pieces of luggage and guiding us from the central station, which was a 10min walk away. She also allowed us a late check out as well as to leave our bags there while we waited for our return train journey.
We definitely want to come back again to Venice and stay at Giovanna's!
