Gio e Gio is one of the nicest places we've ever stayed, period. The apartment was almost hygienically clean & marvelously decorated. Our room was right above a small canal and we could watch the gondolas row by. There is a small bar 15 steps from the apartment front door and the Piazza San Marcos is within easy walking distance as is most of Venezia. The vaporetto (water bus) is a 5 minute walk away and will take you to stops along the Grand Canal if you don't want to walk so much. The breakfast was more than good as was the coffee (important!)On the afternoon of our arrival Monica called on the phone to check on us as the internet was down and she didn't know if we'd arrived. Gianni is animated and delightful to be around. He has deep knowledge of Venezia and is eager to share. He saved us a bunch of money by leaving us directions to the vaporetto and autobus instead of using a water taxi. Some knowledge of the Italian language will help you in conversing with Gianni and Monica but is not necessary.

Absolutely we will stay with them again!
