We have had a wonderful time in Venice and Ilaria's place has been absolutely perfect for our stay . We didn't meet Ilaria personally but the communication with her before arrival was excellent .We were greeted by her friend Maurizia who was very kind to wait for us even though we arrived later than expected , she explained everything to us very clearly and was extremely quick to send me tips on how and where to find vegetarian and vegan food in Venice . The location of the flat is amazing and the place is equipped with absolutely everything that you might want or need. Getting to / back from the airport is extremely easy : boat station right in front of the flat . The neighbourhood (and more generally Giudecca ) is a wonderful place , very lively but not too touristy , with lots of places to eat and drink and some real architectural and historical treasures . We could not have found a better place to stay for our first stay in Venice !
