Wow, apartment was beautiful (even more so than the pictures!). Originally we had had booked a room in st marks square but changed last minute when we saw this apartment, not only saving us £300 but giving us space to actually live in for a few days overlooking the water, just lovely. Ivana is one of the best hosts we have had through air bnb plenty of information sent through before and during our trip which was a nice touch, communication was instant.
Not to repeat too much what others have said but its always nice to have an up to date review... the alilaguna shuttle from the airport is perfect and drops you right outside the apartment and the Hilton shuttle which we used a number of times is free and goes back and too to San Marco. Giudecca itself is extremely quiet and whilst there are a few nice restaurants there wasn’t a lot going on but definitely lovely to come back to a bit of quiet from the main square. I hadn’t realised just how close the other islands were so a perfect base.
If you are thinking of booking, don’t hesitate, we would stay here again ourselves and recommend highly to others :)
