Giovanni made us feel very welcome and was waiting for us, despite arriving slightly late to his apartment. The description is accurate and it is a very nice, comfortable place to stay with everything that you could need. The view over the rooftops makes all the stairs worth it. Be warned there are 100 but it was good exercise nevertheless! I would definitely recommend this apartment and my wife and I would not think twice about staying here again. The location is superb! You will struggle to find a place so close to St. Marks Square and the riverboat ferry takes you within 5 minutes of the apartment.
