Gianluca is a great host! He kept in contact before our arrival, gave us all necessary information to ensure an easy arrival, and came to pick us up at the boat-stop. He helped us to the appartment, showed us around an explained us everything there is to know about the neighbourhood and the city. He had a great map of the city for us too! Also during our stay he politely stayed in touch to ensure everything was to our pleasing and helped us out when we had a question about Venice. Then the apartment: we very much liked the location: close to several vaporetto (water-busses) stops, under a minute walk to the Canal Grande, a minute more and you are on the Rialto Bridge. Yet, as close-by everything touristy is, the area has a very nice feel, not at all crowdy, nice shops and art, bars and restaurants, streets and squares,... Inside the apartment we found everything we needed, including comfortable beds, enough windows, two bathrooms, a well-equiped kitchen, good WiFi connection,... Everything was very clean and to our liking. Thank you Gianluca for our wonderful stay!
