Let me start by saying that Gianluigi's place was much more than I expected. First off, his communication was on point. My husband and I had an issue with our airlines, so instead of putting us in Venice at 4:45, we got in at 2:00 am. Gianluigi waited at the flat to let us in...and even carried my luggage up all flights of stairs! (My luggage wasn't light either). He showed us around and gave us instructions on the flat. The upstairs rooftop area was the highlight of the place. It's perfect for having a cocktail or nightcap after a long day. The location is just as good. We were right in the middle of where we wanted to be. TIP: Be sure to visit St. Marc's at night. Take pictures. So very different than the day time. Also, if you get in late there are very few places open late in vencice. If you are hungry and it's past 2am, google "Pakos pizza" - they are open 24 hours and the food is pretty good. We grabbed a few beers and a pizza and ate them on the roof :)
Ok back to the flat....we had fresh clean towels and were supplied with soap and shampoo and conditioner - didn't use it thought because I brought some and needed to lighten my load. There's also a hairdryer there!!! Which is great because I knew mine would not work in the outlets- so I didn't bring it.
NOTE: if you are coming from the states be sure to plan for European power outlets.....or pay $25 for a phone charger.
