We arrived at Giardini on the Vaparetto and Carlo's friend George was there to greet us- he brought us to the flat and showed us how everything worked- then left us to enjoy 3 wonderful days exploring Venice. If we had any questions, we texted Carlo who responded right away and was extremely helpful.The location is excellent- on the doorstep of the Biennale, and a 15/20 minute walk to Saint Marks square. There were also a handful of delightful shops and fresh veg and fish stalls, along with an excellent Chichetti bar (El Refolo) on our doorstep. The flat itself is very cozy, my father sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Carlo!
