This apartment was much more than it's pictures. Laura sent us information before our arrival regarding directions from the train station to guidecca via water bus. She left us ideas on things to see and places to eat. We loved all the eateries she suggested. It is a close waterbus ride to the busy main squares of Venice and a wonderful getaway at night. The island restaurants have a homey feel and the 8th floor of the Hilton for an evening drink did not disappoint as a suggestion. The apartment was bigger than we anticipated and felt nice to spread out for a few days while here. Laura was flexible with our in/out times, providing a location to store luggage so we could explore.
