We like to thank Giulio for his friendly welcome; it was easy to fix the meeting-point with him and he helped us to carry our baggage up the steep flight of stairs to the apartment on top third floor. You must be fit to climb up the stairs! The apartment is modern and bright, well equiped even for a longer stay (our was 4 weeks); very uncomfortable are the metallic garden-stairs round the kitchen table; the terrace with a small outlook to Canale Grande is really lovely; quiet at night, rather noisy in the morning and evening, this due to a construction detail of one wall. Vaporetto-landing station 5 min. away, COOP-Supermarket round the corner, plenty of bars and restaurants in the neighbourhood ; Rialto can be reached on foot within 15 min., San Marco takes 20 to 30 min. The apartment is highly recommendable! Ursula + Marc, Switzerland
