Giovanni 's apartment was a beautiful experience! It is thoughtfully and tastefully appointed. I thoroughly enjoyed the upstairs bedroom. The view is amazing and the space has a magical quality. Opening the windows you will hear gondolieri signing and music from the nearby school! Fantastic. Directly across the canal is the most beautiful building with a mosaic facade. One could never leave the apartment and see so much! I would love to stay here again. Giovanni responded with lightning speed to my inquiries! A great host!
