We need to first say that Giulia was spectacular: We were at her place for the flooding. The first day wasn't the disaster you saw in the news but she messaged advice about the high water. The morning of the record flooding she walked through deep water at 8am to tell us of the disaster and that we were welcome to stay beyond our check out, not to worry about the trash or anything else. She sent us the tide forecast so we could leave at low tide for the airport. Certainly a perfect hostess!
Giulia's place is close to the first stop from the airport on the waterbus Orange Line and her directions were spot on. If planning to visit the other islands buy a pass -- 1 day, 2 day, or 3 day -- to ride the local waterbuses.
The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood but within a short walk of a main street with a supermarket, restaurants, and stores. We were able to walk everywhere but remember, this is Venice, so be prepared to walk up and down a lot of stairs. Google navigation worked perfectly getting us wherever we wanted to go walking.
The apartment was clean and comfortable. The kitchen complete including convection oven and microwave that we made use of for breakfast and a few dinners. (The restaurant right next door is excellent, as are others we enjoyed)
Giulia has a book with her recommended restaurants and other services. Fun, too, was the guest book with thoughts from previous visitors and their tips.
