Great stay in Venice! The apartment is located down a quiet canal but right around the corner are shops, a grocery store, a pharmacy, and resturants! I recomend Rizzo for a bite or delicious homemade pasta at Hostaria al Vecio Bragosso! Gian communicated very well, his daughter greeted us with instructions and was very kind. The apartment is as described and very clean. The shower is very slim/short, I managed but it would be difficult for anyone with a handicap or very tall individual. We had a wonderful stay at Gian's place and would stay again!
