Our stay in Venice at Gianni's place was amazing. Gorgeous apartment--an oasis of calm in Venice that exceeded our expectations. Gianni was incredibly helpful giving advice on places to eat and visit, and very warm and welcoming. On our last day it was pouring rain, and we had left our umbrellas back in our cars. Gianni escorted us to the boats with his umbrellas, which was very nice and something he didn't need to do. Couldn't recommend this place more!
