Gianluca greeted us at the vaporetto boat stop. We arrived late, but he was still waiting for us! He emailed me prior to arrival to tell us the boat stop we agreed to was under construction, so he gave us an alternate stop. Gianluca carried all our bags upstairs to apt. Apartment was roomy and very clean. The ceiling fans came in handy & the 1 floor fan provided was also appreciated during our stay. It was hot! The beds were comfortable. He provided a washer and clothesline which we did not use. The apt. was located in a quaint neighborhood within steps of shopping and great places to eat. Minutes from the Grand Canal by foot. Great location to an Italian adventure.
