I had the great pleasure to spend couple of nights at Giorgio’s great Apartment! What an amazing place it was but let me elaborate a bit further: 1) Location, Location , Location: Giorgio’s Apartment is probably THE absolute best location in Venice. After taking the long flight and water taxi trip, the taxi/ bus stop is right at the front of his apartment! No need to drag my many bags! The place is located very close to touristic attraction but far away from the noises of tourists. Also it’s located in the most stylish neighborhood of Venice. Many restaurants, shops, convenient stores are just next door. Guests can dine both at Michelin star grade restaurant as well as local coffee shops, sand witch stores and restaurants. I personally went to an amazing Restaurant three minutes walk from Apartment and ate there most of my dinners as the chef’s cuisine was out of this world. The island that the aprtment is located is full of Hidden squares, boutique shops, gardens, parks , beautiful houses and one can spend months strolling through this part of the island! Again the most beautiful part of Venice is the place where Apartment is located and had been a pleasure to discover 2) The Apartment: First The apartment has both working , large elevator as well as a concierge - rare find in Venice or Italy! Once stepped into the apartment , I felt like I am in the middle of a living Museum. Very beautiful paintings all over the place with sculpture around. The furnitures are all very well appointed and the electrical appliances are all in full working condition. Again, every single Air condition of the place works very well as well as the apartment comes with both washer and dryer! The view from the place is simply gorgeous. From the bedroom, living room and many balconies , we enjoyed watching the sunset, sunrise, boats passing through every single waking moments while in the Apartment . This very spacious and well designed apartment is a true GEM! 3) The HOST: The moment I booked the property, Giorgio was very gracious to respond immediately and even sharing with me the many tips before I even arrived at his place. When I arrived , the very warm welcoming gentleman was there waiting while helping me with all my many luggages. Just to bare in mind, Giorgio did not outsource this service to any other people like the other owners of luxury apartments do. Rather being present and available at all time. After the quick checking, Giorgio spent an additional hour explaining all the local highlights such as eateries, places to discover, hidden tips, restaurent reservations , transport reservation... he was acting not only as an owner but as a true friend! As it was getting late for lunch, he personally called the chef of a near by restaurent to wait for us and walked us to the restaurent minutes away. The Chef not only was waiting...
