Although we didn't get to meet Giovanna, her communication was excellent and we felt like we knew her. Her directions to the apartment were great and we didn't get lost once which is saying something for us as we can get lost very easily! It was a very easy vaporetta ride from Ferrovia and a short walk to the apartment. We loved both the apartment and its location.
Giovanna has decorated the very spacious apartment tastefully with beautiful furniture and artwork. It was so well located that we walked to so many places; San Marco Square, Rialto Bridge (5mins) and more. The vaporetta stops of Ca'doro and Rialto are such an easy walk but the apartment is still very quiet at night.
The view from the kitchen window is a great way to start the day, looking over the canals. The apartment was not only well equipped but it was wonderful to have condiments such as salt, pepper coffee etc, and shower gel. We did all of our breakfasts and many dinners in the apartment and not to have to buy these was an added bonus.
The apartment is steeped in history and living in Venice as a Venetian felt very real for us. We just loved it and would highly recommend this as a place to stay. Hopefully we'll get back sometime!
