The building was impressive and the apartment was beautiful, bright, spotlessly clean, quiet and very welcoming! Ivana made sure we had everything we needed in our "home", gave us tips about what to see and where to eat. She kindly left us fruit, croissants, coffee, etc and a little something to help us celebrate our time here! The concierge was also very helpful. Giudecca is across the canal from busy Piazza San Marco, so a fine and quiet place to retire to after a busy day in this incredible city. There are a few lovely local places to eat and drink away from the tourist throng. Was very dramatic to watch the huge cruise ships pass occasionally. Highly recommend this lovely place - a great way to experience Venice!
