We’ve stayed in this apartment for a week beginning August and as it was very hot air conditioning was a delight to have. The location itself is super quiet and perfect to get everywhere in a few minutes, dining, supermarkets (Prix and Coop) and Vaporetto station (Giudecca Palanca). We love the calmness of Giudecca and it’s rural life especially the dining in front of the Giudecca canal with it’s view over Venice, great Restaurants with local menu and affordable prices. We’ve been on Giudecca before and will be here again for sure. The key exchange will be provided by an external service called “the Venice Neighbor” was a bit confusing to me at first because I didn’t know it from the apartments description and we got messaged from “Salvatore”, but he’s very kind and doing a good job, great communication too. One last advice from me would be, inform yourself on public transportation in Venice prior to your travel, The services of ACTV in public transportation can be quite pricey if you book single or time tickets so make sure that you get your day or week Tickets from Venezia unica which safe you a lot’s of money throughout your stay and you are able to use the ACTV transportation which is mandatory as you get around the islands.
