Antonella's place, Casa Mia, is very conveniently located for places to eat out and for the local shops, such as the supermarket. Antonella told us to message her when we were on our way and gave us some good tips on how to get to her, including buying a 7day Vaporetto pass, even tough we were only there for 5 days, as this is cheaper than any other option. We shared a private water taxi from the airport to Giudecca Palanca with some friends but you could take the public Alilaguna from the airport to Zattere and then get the No.2 Vaporetto, or take the bus to Piazzale Roma and the Vaporetto from there. We messaged Antonella and only had to wait a couple of minutes to meet her at Giudecca Palanca. Her place is a short walk and over one bridge from the pier and then you turn under an arch and shortly arrive at the front door. This lets you into a small ground floor hall and you go up the stairs to the landing, sitting and dining room with a separate kitchen and shower room with loo, basin and bidet as well as a large walk in shower. The water pressure was reasonable and we never had any problems with hot water. The two bedrooms, a single and a large double are up a flight of stairs in the next floor. The double bedroom has a balcony and double glazed French windows with a metal shutter outside so it is perfectly dark in the bedroom when this is shut. There is ample cupboard space and hanging storage and a dimmable room uplighter as well as bedside lights. The single room is small and cosy. The beds are comfortable and Antonella showed us where to find extra bed covers if we were cold, as well as how to operate the air conditioning to provide warm air if required. The kitchen seemed well stocked but we didn't really use it as we preferred to eat out at the many cafes and restaurants. Antonella recommended some to us and we ate at the Ristorante Al Redentore on a couple of nights, as the food was very good and the prices reasonable. A litre carafe of wine was 12 Euros. We also went with a group of 16, which they coped with no problem at all. Antonella was very helpful and advised us on many points and it would have been good to have more time to go through things with her on our arrival but we had to rush off to meet people. If there was a downside it was that there had been some flooding just before we arrived so the hall at ground floor level smelled of damp, but this was not really a problem in the flat itself and is something you have to expect with any property in Venice. All in all we had a great time and would return and would stay there again and...
