the location is absolutely perfect. The water bus stops and a coop supermarket are just 3 min away and there is a very nice restaurant just 3 houses away with both vegan and non vegan options. The apartment is right in between S. Marco square and the Rialto bridge so it's very easy to find your way around using the signs everywhere. We didn't even buy water transport tickets because we could walk everywhere easily! We were surprised at how quiet it was in the apartment despite the central location. In the bedroom with the single beds you can hear the tourists a bit during the day but at night it gets quiet and the master bedroom is further away from the street so it's completely quiet and easy to sleep well. The kitchen was also very useful and I am happy to report that we did find a kettle and toaster in the back of the cupboards unlike other reviews suggested! Our flights were at awkward times so I was very glad that Giovanni let us come a little early and stay a little later since he wasn't expecting any other guests. The only negative is the stairs, they are not very long so it wasn't a problem for me but my elderly parents struggled a bit because they are quite steep and a bit narrow if you have big suitcases. The WiFi also wasn't very good so only book if you don't need it. nevertheless we will definitely book again!
