Gianluca's spot was a good apartment in a quite part of Venice. The apartment was spacious and looked as described in the photos. We met his colleague, Ylenia, at Guglie waterbus stop, who was fantastic and walked us to the apartment. (The bus stop is a short ~10 minute walk from the main train station, so would recommend saving the 7.50 per person on the waterbus and walk instead) No hand soap or shampoo were provided and we were asked to take out our rubbish/recycling each morning or face a potential fine (something to keep in mind, sounds like it is a Venice thing). Short walk to a main street where food, gelato, and markets are found. The apartment is only a few minutes from the waterbus station.
We ended up leaving early due to mosquitos and another flying bug in the apartment. Unfortunately, we weren't told about the plug-ins/tablets or that the house would have mosquitos in it (somewhat expected, but not as many as we saw given that we never opened windows). Our one-year old son received 7 bites the first evening (before we went to bed) and woke up bleeding/crying with the bug in his bed. It looked nothing like the mosquitos we found/killed in the apartment and the bites never swelled or itched him, but Gianluca insisted it was a tiger mosquito. Had we known about the bugs and not being able to get rid of them/keep them away, it would have changed our travel plans with a baby.
