This was one of the most pleasant AirBnB experiences we have had. Giovanni was a real gentleman: very kind and welcoming. He met us promptly at the boat stop and took us to the apartment. This is a real bonus as it can be very difficult to negotiate the labyrinthine streets of Venice!

The apartment was in a fantastically quiet neighbourhood but still only a short walk from the main tourist attractions. It was ideally placed for our visit to the Biennale too.

The apartment was really clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable homely stay, including a well equipped kitchen.

What made this really special though was the guide that Giovanni himself had assembled. In it were various restaurants, bars and tips for making the most of our trip, including maps with the locations of these places. It was an absolute godsend for Giovanni to talk us through these and ensured that we ate and drank marvellously on our visit.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment to anyone thinking of visiting Venice and I'd like to say thank you to Giovanni for being such a great host.
