Nicole was an absolutely great host. She already helped us before we arrived with suggestions for parking the car and detailed instructions on how to reach Guidecca by vaporetto (water bus), where she picked us up at the boat stop to show us the way to the apartment. She also had a lot of suggestions for local (and not too touristic) restaurants and was always available for questions. She had some travel guides, a big city map, and a number of suggstions ready for us, but also shared her ideas/thoughts on some specific questions we had. We really felt immediately very welcome at her place.
The flat is really nice, spacious and cozy. The bed is very comfortable, everything is tidy and the kitchen well equipped. Moreover, there is a large terrace to relax after a long day of sight-seeing :) It is located in a nice, quiet and not so touristic area with restaurants and also two grocery shops close by. However, you can reach Piazza San Marco in a few minutes by boat and in addition, you have a beautiful view of San Marco and Dorsoduro from Guidecca.
In the end, Nicole also helped me with some clothes that I forgot during our stay. We can only recommend her place and would be very happy to come back when we visit Venice again!
