Wow we love Venice! Giovanni is the perfect host and was very flexible in accommodating the many changes in our reservation. He worked with us on both ends of our trip and we really appreciated it. Thank you Giovanni! Now to the apartment. First the apartment is immaculate. It's in a very quiet building near lots of wonderful restaurants and shops. The kitchen, bathroom, bedroom everything is spotless. The floor tile throughout the apartment is just beautiful and perfectly preserved. It really is amazing considering everything in Venice has been around for lots and lots of years. Next there is Air Conditioning which is a HUGE PLUS in the Venice heat. Trust me, you'll really appreciate this after a long day of sightseeing and eating at the many great restaurants nearby. Third, the bathroom is perfect. There is a large very clean bathtub and shower. That was one of the main reasons for our choosing Giovanni's apartment. It's not common to find this in Europe so I can't say enough good things about it. I was in heaven!! We definitely recommend staying at Giovanni's. We were so comfortable there, it was just like being at home! Again I'll mention there is AIR CONDITIONING!!! You'll know why I mentioned this again when you visit Venice during the summer months. One thing to note, there is no internet access so you'll want to make arrangements with your provider before leaving home. Other than that, the Host, the City, the Apartment and the Location are all perfect and the price point makes it a great value. Giovanni we thank you for everything, and to everyone looking for a place, don't pass up the chance to stay here, you'll really have a pleasant visit. We can't wait to visit again. Ciao!
