Arriving late at night via Vaporetto, Gianni was there to meet us at St Mark's pier and help us with our luggage over the short walk to the apartment. The location is absolutely superb, the apartment delightful and comfortably furnished with a gorgeous view of the passing gondola in the canal below. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Gianni was a fantastic host who went out of his way to be of assistance whenever needed and to make us feel at home during our stay. Venice is a dream you don't want to wake up from and being able to stay right in the heart of the city in such a peaceful and plush apartment was an absolute pleasure.
