I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Giulia & Giacomo's place! Giulia was SO VERY helpful at check in providing me with a map of the area (that I used my entire stay), suggesting places to eat & things to do according to my wants. She even graciously helped me carry my ENORMOUS bag upstairs, as well as arranged for a porter to help me upon check out with said ENORMOUS bag! Communication prior to my arrival was a breeze! Giacomo was very responsive & helpful with directions & instruction on how to get to the apartment from the airport.
The flat was beautiful and very spacious. The view outside the bedroom windows was lovely as it overlooks a canal. The location was just what I wanted, away from all the tourists yet in a lively neighborhood with casual restaurants, bars & basically everything you need close by. It was very easy getting from the airport to the apartment, The closest water taxi stop was only about a 5-8 minute walk away & the train station was an approximate 25 minute walk.
I would definitely stay there again & recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay with a local vibe & away from the craziness of the touristy areas. My only complaint... I wished I could have stayed longer!!!
