Absolutely loved Venice and staying in Giovanna's apartment was a part of that. Great location, a little hard to find (but what place isn't in Venice!). Giovanna gave us detailed advice which is helpful, but we had to use the GPS function on our phones to find the place. Giovanna was also excellent at responding to any queries and was a great host from a far. Her apartment was charming with lots of antique wooden furnishings. The door was a little hard to lock and unlock but with a little force we managed! Overall would highly recommend it.
