Gianni’s place was in the PERFECT location, just removed from the chaos of Rialto bridge & San Marco, on a very quiet alleyway street. Behind the house a few steps was a great shopping street with a wonderful takeout pizzeria Antico Forno -$3 euros for thin slice! In the opposite direction a few steps was the grand canal and a few hundred feet to the left the Rialto bridge. Gianni was also a great host-providing a map and great info on navigating the city, including recommendations. He had cold waters & juice in the fridge for us as well as crackers and breakfast crisps with nutella, jam, etc. We had a particularly early flight out, before the water buses began their routes and Gianni went out of his way to arrange an early water taxi for us. We also loved the A/C, the 2 bathrooms both with showers, and the historic feel of the home yet with all the modern touches! We would 100% choose to stay here again-it’s a wonderful place!
