We loved our stay at Giulia's place.
It's perfectly situated for the water transport services and so it was easy to arrive by boat from the airport and leave by boat for the train station at the end of our stay. Not to mention an evening hop to Murano and a day trip to Lido - the stop is just 2 mins away so no need to carry luggage over bridges etc.
The flat was plenty spacious enough for the four of us and we were very comfortable due to the air conditioning and access to outside space.
We found the area perfect for our needs - a short walk away from the main sights but quiet.
Check in was great and any queries we had were quickly answered.
My elder son says that we should go back and if we do we must stay in the same place. We all agree.
