The apartment was great, just perfect for our stay in Venice. Giovanni met us at the local vaporetto stop when we arrived and guided us to the apartment a short distance away which was a very nice thing to do. The area was quiet but still in a 10-15 min walking distance of all the main sites of Venice. It was close to the vaporetto stops which may travelling around the city even easier in the hot weather. The apartment was clean, the air conditioning was great and it was very useful to be able to wash and dry clothes. Giovanni provides a very clear instruction manual for the house with tips for local restaurants and things to do in the city as well. Would definitely recommend!
