Giovanna is rightfully called a superhost. She was always very quick to respond and gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and also all kinds of helpful tips about Venice. The apartment was very beautiful and was in a quiet part of the city, only 15mins walking from San Marco square and really close to multiple boat stops. But as Giovanna suggested, don't take the boat but go walk as much as you can and get lost inside the city. The main attractions are nice, but the small alleys are even better!
The apartment is in Dorsoduro, a great part of town with all kinds of great places to eat. For instance, nearby hotel/restaurant La Calcina has own of the best pizza's in town! ;)
