Giovanni's apartment is perfect for an authentic vacation in Venice, only 10 mn walk from San Marco and located in a less touristic district (but with a fantastic café and bar each within 100m; two supermarkets nearby). It is extremely convenient to get to as you can take the waterbus directly from the airport and avoid having to carry your luggage through the city. The place is sunny, very quiet (no church bells!), very confortable and has all the equipment you could possibly need. The terrasse is just... well, you'll have to see for yourself! We used it for drinks even though it was winter. Communication with Giovanni was very simple, fluid and efficient. We did not get to meet him as he was away and were welcomed by his friendly cleaning lady. I have been to Venice many times over the years and this was definitely the best place I ever stayed in. Thank you so much Giovanni and I hope we can come back.
