We had a wonderful few days in Venice, staying in Gianni's apartment. The communication was excellent in the lead up to our arrival, and Gianni was there to meet us and show us around the apartment. It is well setup and had enough space for our family of 5 (3 daughters). The location is also great, as it is off the beaten track and in a quiet and pretty area next to a canal, surrounded by residents and not tourists. But only a few mins walk to shops and restaurants, 25 mins walk to the Rialto, and 10 mins walk from the train station. I recommend this apartment as a great option for your visit to Venice.
