Gianluca's place in San Polo was fabulous! It was extremely close to the main streets and the Rialto Bridge. There are some fabulous Pizza places around and ask Gianluca for the best wine shop in San Polo. There are 2 bathrooms and you get to do the authentic 'hanging the washing from the lines outside the windows' Italian style! Gianluca is really friendly! He met us at the water bus stop (vaporetto ) and helped us with our luggage up the stairs. Really lovely fella. Just so you're aware, there isn't a lounge area /couch but the dining chairs are quite comfortable.
