WE CANNOT RECOMMEND GIOIA'S HOUSE OF JOY HIGHLY ENOUGH!!!! Not only is the space absolutely beautiful, quirky, fun, clean, functional and centrally-located, but Gioia was amazing. She answered all of our questions on Whatsapp promptly both before and during out stay, she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time in Venice during the crazy opening week of the biennial and that we were cozy and felt safe in her beautiful apartment. On top of that she left us yummy gifts and detailed written and video instructions for how to find the apartment, which we really appreciated after a long travel! We would stay again in a heartbeat, whatever questions you have, just ask Gioia is as joyful as her house! Thanks for everything :) <3
