We started a week's travelling in Italy in Venice and rented Giacomo's apartment for three nights. We in fact arrived late at night and unlike other listings we were not charged extra for late check in (Brilliant!). It is nice and cosy and very good value for money. All the facilities work well. Location is based in a quieter part of the city (not woken up by tourists early morning), there are some nice caffès and trattoria's close by too. Everywhere in Venice is close by to each other and easy to navigate to. Major sights were around 15-20 minutes away by walking but honestly the walking is made up by the beautiful sights you encounter round every corner of Venice. This apartment is ideal if you plan on spending most of your time out in the city and having somewhere nicer than a hotel room to come back to at night. We also noticed that the bathroom and kitchen could sometimes get a bit smelly. (Probably due to the drain systems in an old Venetian building. Nothing too unpleasant.
