The Alilaguna Blu boat from the airport stops right at the apartment building. Vicky was there waiting for us and she was very friendly and helpful giving us all the information we required. The apartment more than matched up to our expectations - we loved it. It has a lovely fresh, new feel. Everything we needed was there and it was very comfortable. The views were fascinating with all the coming and going of cruise ships etc.. Giudecca was actually a great part of Venice to stay in. It is much quieter and the restaurant menus are a bit cheaper. Supermarkets and other smaller shops are close by. There is a free shuttle service every 20 minutes which takes you to St Marks square in 15 minutes. The boat leaves from just below the apartment and the short trip is very enjoyable with great views.
Vicky and Ivana were both available either by phone or email at all times but we had no problems whatsoever. Ivana is a great host and this apartment is a great place to stay in Venice.
