Giovanni was an excellent host, responding quickly to emails, meeting us at the vaporetto stop to walk with us to the apartment and giving us useful information to ensure we had a great holiday. The apartment was as described - clean, comfortable and with good heating for when the weather turned cooler. The apartment block and the local area were very quiet and off the tourist trail, but you could easily walk to the main tourist attractions in 10-15 minutes and to the nearest vaporetto stop in about 8 minutes. We had a wonderful holiday. Thank you Giovanni!
