My family and I had a great stay in Gian’s apartment. The apartment is super clean, has very recently been renovated so everything is new and fresh but still have the Venician style (ie the beautiful stone floors). The location is perfect, walking distance to everything, and if you don’t want to walk it’s very close to the public water boats. What mostly impressed me was how helpful Gian is. When our luggage was delayed he offered to give the airline his phone number so that they could get a local number. And when the bags finally arrived he offered to have them delivered to his place (which is next door) so that we didn’t have stay in the apartment and wait for the luggage and miss valuable time in Venice. Overall this is a fantastic place for a family to stay in, and Gian is a very great host. Susanne
