La Guidecca is our favorite quarter in Venice. Marina's and Carlo's apartment is the most pleaseant place in Guidecca (and Marina and Carlo are molto gentile and great hosts). The apartment is really (in) a palazzo. It has all you need. We would have been happy to spend more time on the balcony. The neighbourhood is great, too. We loved la Osteria da Moro where we had coffee and brioche in the morning. And we loved il Ristorante Redentore where we ate Pizzas in the evening.
