Giuliano’s apartment is charming and he was very welcoming, meeting us at the nearby water ferry stop before taking us to the apartment. When we explained we were only in Venice for one night two days he gave us great advice on getting the most out of Venice. For my group of friends the apartment was in a great spot, near the bus terminal and also train station but not too close to all the tourist spots so there was a bit of breathing room from the massive crowds. However, St Marks and the Rialto Bridge were still walking distance or accessible by public water ferry. Overall I highly rate Giuliano’s place and he is an amazing host.
