We were helped with suggestions for parking our rental car and directions on how to catch the public water bus. Then we were greeted by Guila’s friendly parents and taken to the apartment where they gave us a walk through. We loved the apartment. It was comfortable and super clean. We loved staying in Giardini. It was away from the busy tourist area but not too far from San Marco Square. There were restaurants and a grocery store right nearby. Loved the short walk to the grand canal to watch the sunset. Great place to stay in Venice!!
