A wonderful place and a wonderful host. Giovanni met us at the vappartto stop and walked us to the apartment - fortunate as it is a short walk if you know where you are going but finding ones way in Venice with all the canals and winding streets is tricky. Then, he walked us 5 minutes away to a lunch place (many places were closed for the rest hour when we arrived) so our tired kids could eat. He was consistently helpful. The apartment was very clean, true to the pictures, and a welcome resting place. Very comfortable for our family of four & close to restaurants and sights but out of the crowds.
