We really enjoyed the apartment - it was a perfect location to get away from the crowds of San Marco yet accessible to all parts of Venice and the islands. One Vaporetto stop to Zattere on Dorsoduro and just a few more to Piazza San Marco. The place was very well stocked with the basics and the bottle of Prosecco was a nice touch. It was perfectly sized for the two of us without feeling cramped. Paolo was extremely responsive to all our questions. Giudecca is a wonderful place itself with great restaurants and food stores stocking all you need within a very short walking distance. Also it has many artist studios. Thanks to Paolo for all the tips and recommending a friend of his as a guide for an art history tour. Ciao grazie Mille to Paolo!
