Words cannot describe how wonderful Giuliana was and the hospitality Giuliana extended to our family of 5. It started with accepting our booking, extended to making all the water taxi arrangements, super fast responses, her daughter Nina meeting us at the pier who is such a gracious and charming girl..and giving us local tips of places to visit around our schedule. It made our vacation that much easier and simpler and we were focused on enjoying ourselves and not worrying about taxi arrangements.
And the highlight of our visit was the crossing of the bridge to Giudecca which happens once a year and happened to be on the day of our arrival...and Giuliana pointed that out to us - and we loved being part of an old Venetian culture...
The apartment itself is large and spacious and supplied with everything that a family of 5 needs - snacks, carton of milk, breakfast items etc. Giuliana was super thoughtful and prepared a separate bed for our 15 year old son..
And the air-conditioning worked perfectly. Hot water was a little iffy but I attribute it to us Americans needing tons of hot water. Since we were a large family (5) we had some interesting fun moments in the shower if both showers were running at the same time :-). For smaller families you shouldn't have any issues.
The apartment was super clean stocked with everything we ever needed.
And the place is wonderfully located out of the crowded areas and much quieter than anywhere else.
