Giacomo is a fabulous host. He made contact with us before our trip to arrange our arrival and make sure we were comfortable and knew where we were going. We were greeted warmly by Giulia at the Guglie water bus stop before the check in time and were led to the apartment, she showed us around and gave us the key before we left it for the cleaners to prepare. She gave us a map and talked for 10 mins about the best places to visit and some wonderful suggestions of where to eat (vegetarian restaurant osteria zucca was the best meal we had during our whole stay) The apartment is situated down a little alley off the Guglie canal, but only about ten metres back and very light. It's nicely furnished with everything you need to cook a simple meal (olive oil and salt etc all stocked) and make tea and coffee. It's very quiet at night but really easy to walk into the busy areas. Giacomo and Giulia have a very helpful book with tips and Giulia circled our map with places to visit. We really enjoyed our stay and it was a perfect base to visit the whole city, and with such an easy airport/train transfer. We would defiantly recommend this apartment and would not hesitate to come back: overall a fantastic city break!
