Giacomo was responsive throughout the process. He met us by the Guglio vaporetto station on time, and walked us over the apartment. He made us feel welcome and shared some interesting tips and recommendations.

If you are looking for a place that is a 10-15 minute walk from the main tourist areas (San Marco square is more like 20), but in a quiet neighborhood, this is the place to go. The apartment is easy to find, close to many shops and restaurants, and very close to two vaporetto stops. It's away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist strips, but never felt too far away.

The apartment itself was clean and well-presented. Hot water was not a problem. The internet connection was strong. There are plenty of cutlery, pots and pans, and other misc. kitchen items - although we did not use them. There is a washer and dryer, which is handy, but bring your own laundry soap if you plan on using them. Giacomo did provide dish soap and toiletries through.
