Gianni met us just as we arrived at gio & gio, as they had promised. He and Evan (hope I have his name right) were most welcoming and friendly (we did not meet Monica, who we had been corresponding with, unfortunately). Gianni spoke English very well, though he kept apologizing for it. They spent a lot of time showing us around and explaining things. It's a beautiful b & b in a great location, right over a small canal and across from a great restaurant (there are many). It was very clean and comfortable. And close to the vaporetto. I would return to it.
