Giuliana’s place is wonderful! Situated outside of the general tourist areas, but close for walking to everywhere- San Marco is 5 minutes away. Arsenale vaporetto stop is just out the front too. The apartment is amazingly roomy, even with 8 of us staying, & is cool, with great cross breezes from the great shuttered windows. The sounds of Venice drift up through the windows, it’s quite enchanting. The cafés, bars & restaurants nearby are a cut above the ones in the main tourist areas, & are cheaper too. We loved it!
