We recently stayed at Giula’s apartment for 3 nights. Initially, it is difficult to find but everyone gets lost in Venice! It is walkable from the train station but you will have to carry your luggage over many bridges. There is a porter service if you want your luggage carried for you.
Giulia was not there at check-in but left instructions on how to get in to the building and where to find the keys. Unfortunately, the keys were not there when we arrived (cleaning lady forgot to leave them) but Giulia arranged to have them delivered within approximately 15 minutes.
The apartment is nice and clean and we loved the location as it was away from the busier, tourist area.
There is a fabulous restaurant nearby where the locals go, Paradiso Perduto! It was the best meal of our entire Italy trip and would highly recommend!!
