Our stay at Giovanni's apartment in Venice was fantastic. Excellent directions were provided, and it was located perfectly, near the Rialto bridge and easy access to everything. The kitchen and apartment were well stocked. The host Giovanni made himself available for anything we might have needed, and gave GREAT recommendations for places to eat and to see that were somewhat off the beaten path and ultimately made our trip to Venice unforgettable. Also, wonderful views from the room. We would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone staying in Venice, although we should mention that it is four long flights of stairs to reach it (just in case there are heavy bags).
