Giacoma's flat is the perfect place to stay in Venice. Just far enough off the main route to be quiet, but close enough to have everything easily accessible. The place itself was spotless, had plenty of space for two, and unusual for Italy, had a washer, dryer, full kitchen, and dishwasher. We did not meet Giacoma, but he arranged for his associate to meet us and give us an overview of the area, even though we arrived late at night.
