We stayed at Giovanna’s place for 4 nights. Check-in went very smoothly; Giovanna’s son met us at the water bus stop and showed us around the apartment. Communication was also great; Giovanna checked in on us during the stay and was very easy to reach. The apartment is somewhat old, but it’s quiet, clean, spacious, and located at a walkable distance from Rialto bridge and the main attractions, but also near a water bus stop for when you’re tired of walking. The heating had been turned on before our arrival and remained on throughout our stay, which was great. Minor issues: the microwave sometimes didn’t work, and the bathroom door cannot be locked. I would definitely recommend it.
