Giorgio was a fantastic host. He was easily reachable and always helpful. The apartment is in a quiet part of town, and less touristy which we enjoyed. One of our favorite restaurants we tried in Venice was the Riviera on the waterfront just a few steps away, it's a must. The apartment can be split in 2, the waterfront section has an amazing view, definitely try to get it if available. The apartment is older, as is everything in Venice, but all appliances are up to date and the AC works great.
