We stayed 3 nights in Giovanna's appartment. It is a superb place, very charming and typical. I felt like in a movie ! It is very well located and safe. Be warned because in Venice you only have old buildings with thin windows so you can hear everything that happens in the street, but it is in general. Giovanna was very nice, she provided us with an umbrella and came to pick us up late at night. If we come back to Venice we'll sure rent her place again !
