This apartment is stunning. The location, right on the Giudecca Canal with a great view of Giudecca and its charming restaurants right on the water, invites to use the numerous balconies which we regularly did. The interior with its amazing furnishings and set-up that was both comfortable but also `formal' in a Venetian way (and importantly with efficient air-conditioning) and was a great retreat during the heat of the day. It is secluded enough that there are not streams of tourists around, but the piers nearby allow for quick transfers to the main sites. Restaurants are easily reached. Giorgio was a great host, so the experience is highly recommendable.
