You will not be disappointed! From the very beginning everything was great. Giovanni and his sister in-law, Giovanna responded to emails and messages right away. They were super helpful. Giovanna met us when we arrived at the port in San Basilio and walked us to the apartment. Less than 5 minute walk. The apartment is beautiful. Lots of windows, views over looking the canal. Location - perfect! A 15 minute walk to the train station, Santa Lucia. A 25 minute walk to San Marco and about a 30-40 minute walk to the boats that take you to Murano & Burano. We couldn't have asked for a better location. Giovanna left us a map and noted local restaurants, bars, museums and markets for us to visit. We had such an amazing time and can't wait to return. We highly recommend staying here, you will not be disappointed! Grazie mille!!!
