We had an excellent stay. The apartment is located in Giudecca, a more residential area but very conveniently located just a few waterbus stops from main island of Venice (one 3 minute ride to the island and 10min max to San Marco square). We actually liked a lot the fact we were in a less tourist crowded area, had the real feeling of what it must be to live in Venice. All amenities very close inc a good supermarket and pizza restaurant just in front, which helped organize breakfast and a few meals in the apartment when we wanted. The host Ornella and her daughter Alessia met us at the Palanca waterbus stop to show us where the apartment was, just 5 min walk from the stop. They were very attentive and helpful, even made some suggestions of things to do, restaurants, etc. The apartment itself is completely new and tastefully decorated, and had all the equipment needed including a Coffee machine and some complimentary basic groceries (sugar, butter, milk etc). Have to say the place is even better than what the pictures show! Also a word to mention the kind gesture of leaving some flowers in a vase with a happy birthday card for my wife, so nice! :-) all in all, highly recommend this place if you want to stay in a more modern flat and don't need or want to stay right in the middle of the narrow streets and canals. The view from Giudecca to Venice and the waterfront walkway are also worth it...
