Our stay at Giusy's place was great over-all. We had some trouble finding it, and the instructions that the host shared were from the most common points of entry for Venice, but we had arrived via Treviso so we had to do some exploring. Luckily, the property manager/cleaner walked out to the main walkway to find us. We never actually met Giusy - just Nikki (sp?) the property manager. She set us up with the keys and showed us the room and how to lock the doors. The room was beautiful and clean, and the bed was comfortable. The view out the window was magnificent, and the area is indeed quiet (even during Venice Carnival when we were there!). The only thing that was slightly disruptive was that the wall behind the headboard and the walls in the bathroom weren't insulated well because we could hear conversations that the traveler in the room next to ours was having on the phone, loud and clear. The doors are thin too, so if there are people talking in the common area early in the morning, it will wake you up. The place is split into four apartments it seems, and is more like a small hotel really. Common areas are bright and well decorated, with a coffee machine, fridge, and local guidebooks available. The rooms lock, and there is a lock on the front door too, but it seems to lock automatically when closed. There is also a safe in the rooms for valuables, and bathrooms were modern and clean. The daily cleaning of the room was done very well too. The area is close to a great strip with nice bars and restaurants and lots of cichetti if you are looking for cheaper, but still delicious, ways to eat in Venice. We were happy to find so much live music in the area too, and a young nightlife scene that we didn't find anywhere else on the islands. Everything was within walking distance and it was a real treat to be able to escape the more touristy areas every day as we returned to the apartment. We would stay here again in future if we are lucky enough to return to Venezia someday.
