April 2014 - we had a wonderful time, great weather and apartment exactly as described. It is a lovely retreat from the crowds of Venice to return to Guidecca island to the comfortable apartment where you can watch the boats go by from the window. Good advice forwarded in advance from the owner re arrival details. We were met as agreed and shown round the apartment which was very clean and well maintained with a chilled bottle of Prosecco and milk awaiting us. The block itself is quiet and conveniently located next to the Hilton. Palanca is the nearest vaporetto stop, about a 7 minute walk away from the apartment. We would happily stay there again.
