We enjoyed our time in Vernice and in Gianni's apartment. It's central location is perfect for visiting the city. We walked a lot and only used the vaporetti if necessary. It's really helpful that the room includes a simple breakfast with good coffee. (We bought some nice Italian salami & cheese to go with it.) The apartment is nicely decorated, the pictures don't lie. Gianni is very friendly and helpful, his English is absolutely sufficient (even if he claims it isn't).
