Gianna's apartment is in a fantastic location. Its only a few blocks away from the Piazza San Marco in one direction and the Rialto Bridge is not that much further away in the opposite direction. Although its close to several major sights, the area around the apartment was not that busy and as its tucked away down a private lane the apartment itself was lovely and quiet.
The apartment has a great view overlooking the canal and had a clean and modern interior with handy amenities (kitchen, washing machine etc...).
Gianna was a great host and was always quick at getting back to any questions I had. I can definitely recommend Gianna's apartment when visiting Venice.
