Gianni is the greatest! Very quick to reply, available to help and give tips about the local area. His place is very central to everything I wanted to see as well. It is very spacious, comfortable, and beautiful. You will overlook the water, hear the singers, and see the gondolas. I have to mention that Gianni adds the special touch to everything. He is very very helpful from the time you book, and had a guide ready for my arrival. Also, he allowed me to check out and leave my suitcases behind to explore a little more. I highly recommend and expect to be back someday! :)
