Our group of 6 (4 adults/2 kids 9 & 13) stayed at Giorgio’s spacious and tastefully appointed apartment. The space is beautiful, a little bigger than we’d expected, and located in a very convenient and quiet part of Venice with views of one of the many canals. The kitchen had many amenities that were helpful for us to cook breakfast in the apartment before heading out for the day. We were especially grateful for the powerful air conditioning units (each room has one) after long days of sightseeing in hot weather...it was nice to relax in a space so nice and cool!
Giorgio thoughtfully included in the place a Rick Steves’ Venice guide book as well as other publications of city highlights. Piazza San Marco (15 min) and Rialto (8 min) are short walks away. Fontamente Nove vaporetto stop is 2 min walk and a quick ride back to train station. Grocery stores are close as well.
Giorgio is a gracious and helpful host who offered useful recommendations on a few local ristorante. He also suggested taking the convenient water taxi from the airport to Fontamente Nove and met us precisely on time upon arrival, which made navigating the streets of Venice much easier with our luggage. We will certainly look this place up if we visit Venice in the future. Best regards, The Christensen Family
