Giorgia's place was so perfect, and it was a delight to meet/communicate with Giorgia herself. We had been worried about the acqua alta but Giorgia reassured us with photo updates as the tides had gone down a few days before, and the apartment is on the 3rd floor so not at risk of flooding. She also gave great and easy directions for getting from the airport to the apartment (bus and waterbus – very simple to navigate) and met us from the very nearby Rialto Market waterbus stop, to show us how to find the apartment – it’s hidden in a little side-street like many in Venice, but easy to spot identifying landmarks nearby. The apartment is lovely and cosy at night, with plenty of space for a couple to relax, and walking distance to so many restaurants/cafes/galleries/sights nearby. We really loved our time at Giorgia's place, and would definitely recommend it as a home base for exploring Venice.
