If you want to experience Venice like a local, and in luxury, this is the ideal place. The apartment is ideally located, spacious and completely renovated with all modern conveniences. Giorgio is an outstanding host and exceeded all of our expectations. Since it was our first time visiting Venice, we found it very helpful that he met us at the water bus station and guided us to the apartment. Navigating the streets of Venice can be intimidating and he also helped us with our luggage. Since there are some steps on the 8-10 minute walk to the apartment and the short flight of stairs up to the apartment, we really appreciated that. Giorgio even pre-stocked the kitchen with basics (water, coffee and a delicious sparkling wine!). His thoughtful attention to detail and terrific communication were greatly appreciated.
