Giacomo's place is located on the 2nd floor of an old palazzo on a vibrant street in Cannaregio. The street tends to be quite noisy due to a popular restaurant located adjacent, but this is only in the front room and not in the sleeping rooms. Keep in mind that an Italian 2nd floor is an American 3rd floor and that the ceiling height of 14 feet (or more) makes the climb to the apartment feel more like that to a 5th floor Manhattan walk up. The apartment itself is well-appointed, clean and spacious. Giacomo and Giulia were excellent hosts and took care of a small problem we encountered immediately. We would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to friends (except those with heavy luggage or bad backs)!
