We had a wonderful experience at Giovanna's place. The apartment provided us with the feeling that we always lived in Venice - it is on the third floor in a house direct over one of the smaller canals. Only two bridges away from St. Zaccaria station on the Alilaguna - that means no long shlepping of luggage across the city. It is also very conveniently situated close to St. Marco's square as well as one of the supermarkets in Venice. There are stairs to climb but it wasn't a handicap. The little balcony was an absolute bonus to the experience - we had breakfast and late evening snacks there and it was lovely. The apartment is modern, clean and has everything you need - from stove, dishes, condiments, to towels and shampoo. There is even a washing machine, if you really miss this activity on vacation. Giovanna is very knowledgeable about Venice, she gives a good advise about what to do and places to see. She even had a small present for us on arrival. We felt very comfortable and loved every minute at her place. I would gladly go back to my excellent host. Thank you for your hospitality, Giovanna.
