Gio & Gio is a very charming and well situated B&B. Located on San Marco, its a 5-10 min walk to the Duomo/ Rialto and 5-10 min walk over the bridge to Accademia. Easy to get to (~25 min) from Piazzale Roma via Waterbus Line 1 as long as you go in the right direction, else it takes longer. There is also a Alilaguna Boat stop to take you directly to the airport (~1hr). An employee of the B&B greeted us in front of the church and helped us with the flight of stairs up to the bedroom.

The B&B is very spacious and elegantly decorated in a traditional Venetian style. The mattress/ pillows are very comfortable and the bathroom spacious. The A/C unit also worked very well given the extreme heat!

Downsides: Breakfast is lacking. Compared to our other experiences, there was nothing fresh, only prepacked pastries. Would have appreciated some fresh pastries/croissants or cold-cuts/ boiled eggs.. maybe even to pre-order? We ended up going out for breakfast which is difficult to find in Venice.

Overall, was a lovely place and wonderful location; we would definitely stay there again!

Note: We did not meet Monica and Gianni. We only spoke on the phone w/ Gianni to inform him of our arrival. He seemed very nice and they were gracious enough to recommend a restaurant over msging.
