We could not have been more pleased with Giovanni or his apartment. He meet us at the boat dock, walked us to the apartment and took as much time as we needed to answer all of our questions (including his recommendations for restaurants & sites). The location was perfect because it was in a quiet section (for sleeping) and just a few minutes walk from San Marco. After walking through the centuries old and very quaint street, I was surprised to find a very modern, well equipment and modern apartment. The bed was very comfortable and there were room-darkening shutters that can be closed to keep the sun out in the morning. For those with a small child, there is a small bonus room that is large enough for a crib or playpen. You can't go wrong with Giovanni and his apartment.
