This apartment is a great location that is quiet and away from the tourist hordes - just right for two people. Easy transportation on the vaporetto (mass transit boats) to San Marco and Grand Canal - only takes about 10 minutes. Plus riding the boats is fun. Staying on Giudecca gave us a flavor for the real Venice. Good nearby restaurants that offer local food instead of the tourist pizza on the main islands. Sitting along the water for a relaxed lunch was a highlight of the trip. I would highly recommend Laura's place and commend her for helping to make our stay perfect.
