Giovanna's flat is really central and handy to all the main attractions in Venice. It was lovely to be able to look down on the canal and watch the gondolas go past! Unfortunately we didn't have anyone greet us at the flat and this was a shame as I think it would have really added to our experience. It was very hot in Venice when we were there (late June) and the air conditioning unit struggled to cool the apartment. Otherwise the flat is comfortable. Giovanna left a list with lots of recommendations for restaurants etc.
