Giuliana is fantastic at responding and even during our stay messaged to check all was ok.
She met us from the boat, we got return €25 tickets on blue line Aguiliana (yellow boats) straight from Marco Polo airport to Arsenale stop. It took about 1.20hrs but you had fantastic views and stops on the way. I’m not great on boats but it went steadily and only rocked due to the wake of other boats! Easiest way to travel I think.
Giuliana met us at Arsenale dock and we walked 2minutes through a wonderful alley to the apartment. It is in an amazing location 2minutes walk from waterfront. Turn left to local area where there’s a co op and other small shops. Turn right 10minute walk to St Marcs Square etc.
The apartment is typically Italian with a roof terrace looking over the terracotta rooftops and washing- a photographers dream. There are a lot of steep stairs in and out from the front door , just incase you can’t manage this.
There are 3 large double rooms lounge/diner bathroom and kitchen then another floor with a bedroom/bathroom and roof terrace. Great for a large family as everyone had there own space.
Great kitchen full oven dishwasher etc. and even some pastries coffee/tea and anything left in fridge or cupboards we could use. Nice when you arrive to have something.
The apartments very clean but has a lovely personal feel and drawers of useful bits like you’d have at home eg sellotape .
This was a fantastic find would definitely recommend and hope to go again ourselves.
Thanks Giuliana for everything xx
