the location of Dino´s apartment is fantastic: on the Giudecca island and right in front of the San Marco place. 5 minutes walk from the Vaporetto stop. Everything was so clean, the garden you walk through is like paradise. Dino himself is a perfect host; he was flexible with the check in time of our luggage - always a big problem in Venice- and the same with the check out. He helped us out with finding nice places on the Giudecca island. the garden on the other side of the apartment looks so relaxing, my daughter wanted to stay home and read in the garden all the time : ( had to drag her to see the Scuolas, the plazas, the Ca´d´Oros, the San Marco etc). we immediately felt at home with Dino. The kitchen is nice, the daily fresh bowl of fruits so nice and that someone takes care of the room every day gives it a touch of a welcoming gestures. The next time I go to Venice I defintely stay there again. and to a certain degree I feel more like a Giudecca-nese now.
