First of all Gianna is not your average host. She provides everything you need, offers to talk to your taxi driver to let them know where you’re going, in depth knowledge of Venice and public transportation for how to get around, umbrellas in case it rains and guidebooks are hand in the apartment. Secondly, this apartment is PERFECT for couples at the end of a long trip. We visited Venice after being on a week long cruise. We were hot, tired and had lots of dirty clothes. Not a problem as we relaxed in the sparklingly clean apartment doing our laundry and watching the gondolas go by from the king bed. It was perfect. We highly recommend the next door pasta to go place too! It was perfect for a quick lunch on our way out the door to touring! The location of this apartment is just steps away from cute shops, great hole in the wall restaurants and St Mark’s Square. Highly recommend!
