It was a great, positive experience to stay with Giogio. The location feels like a genuinely Venetian quarter and very calm. All kinds of shops and restaurants are within a few minutes walk.
You'll have a 20 min walk to the railway station and 15 to the Rialto Bridge.
The whole area offers lots of opportunities for exploration of non-tourist quarters and great architecture as well as photography. After 11 pm you'll experience its calmness and beauty at night.
The flat is super nicely renovated. A sense of history and personality but also modern; it is spotlessly clean and the kitchen and all other rooms offer everything you can possibly need. It feels like living in a home more than just in a rented flat.
Giorgio is a very kind and fast communicator. He goes out of his way to make you feel at home. And I certainly did from day one.
The courtyard is a lovely place too; however, don't expect it or the flat(s) to give you a lot of sunshine; it's the street level and all the alleys are simply too narrow.
I wholeheartedly recommend Giorgio's place and will return to it without a doubt.
