We loved Alvise & Adriana's apartment in Giudecca. Everything not only looked as advertised, but it was even better when actually seen: spotlessly clean surfaces, very well appointed kitchen and bathroom, lovely bedrooms with fresh sheets and plenty of storage, extra blankets in case of need, perfectly white sets of towels along with bath gel and cream, functioning air conditioning (very welcome as we had 33-34 degrees those days), excellent windows with insect screens and so many details which demonstrated real love and care for their apartment and their guests. The location on the beautiful Giudecca is perfect, very close to the Palanca vaporetto stop, restaurants and shops and the self-check-in process was straightforward and error-free. We have been to Venice many times and stayed at different hotels, mostly in San Marco and Dorsoduro, but this time we didn't miss at all being in the midst of those busy districts since we had the best of both worlds: the slower pace and not so crowded space of Giudecca and the ease of crossing over to the main island in just a few minutes. We will certainly recommend this apartment to our friends and would love to return to it on any future trip to Venice.
