Giovanni's apartment is very nice. It has magnificent views over Venice and the Grand Canal and a spacious and well decorated living area with a lovely attic style main bedroom that also has a cute little verandah to view Venice. The apartment has a very homely feel as well and all the facilities we would want. It was also spotlessly clean and dust free. Pre-arrival communication was good and arrival was smooth, being greeted by Giovanni's housemaid for the property. There is a second smaller bedding space with its own shower and toilet to accommodate a third (and I guess a 4th/ it's a 3/4 size sofa bed) person. Pricey, yes, but very good so worth it if you are seeking a special Venetian experience. Although very close to a busy square accessing the property is via a quiet walkway which can feel a bit lonely at night although I guess most of the small walkways of Venice have this feel and there were no security concerns. On the other hand this walkway is fantastic as it is architecturally magnificent with life size figure sculptures set into the walls of presumably the old Pisani Palace and now houses a music academy floating lovely notes through the air as you begin your daily activities. V nice. Overall a very high recommendation.
