Gian and Carla's place is in a quiet recessed area of Cannaregio, steps from a quiet canal and a main pedestrian strip where you can find a wide selection of shops, bars and restaurants. There is an amazing Italian deli/take away shop called Rizzo on that main strip as well. The food and prices there are excellent. The apartment is about a 20 minute walk from the Piazzale Roma, and only about a 15 minute walk to the Piazza San Marco, which we walked to each day we were in Venice. It was lovely! The apartment itself is quite spacious and modern. It looks like it's been very recently remodelled and is very comfortable and super clean. Gian and Carla were very kind hosts. Carla greeted us when we arrived and gave us an orientation of the apartment. She and Gian also left us some fresh coffee and some delicious Venetian cookies. We loved our stay at Gian and Carla's and would definitely recommend their place.
