Gian's place was great! A 20 minute walk from P. Roma (bus terminal in Venice) or 5 minute walk from the San Marcuolo vaporetto stop. The apartment was very tidy, clean, and had everything we needed. There are 2 grocery stores a 3-minute walk away and several restaurants close by. We had one minor issue with the shower drain and Gian was on it immediately. He offered to come over right away, even while we were gone, and asked permission first (which we appreiated). It was fixed when we got back and we had no other issues. We really liked staying in Cannaregio and highly recommend Gians place!
