We spent 5 nights in Giorgia's apartment. It is perfectly located in Santa Croce. Short walk from San Stae station when coming from the airport by boat (Alilaguna). Its a quiet zone, not in a touristic zone. So you feel like a real venitian. But there are still a lot of restaurants, bars and shops. And Rialto bridge is still pretty close. Less than 10mn walk.
The apartment itself is very roomy. Three bedrooms, great living room. We appreciated the light coming from everywhere in the house. Located in a very small, old and tipycal venetian street, the apartment is very modern and we liked that contrast. As others renters noticed, stairs are steep to arrive in the apartment but it was not a problem for us.
Now, I have to say that Giorgia was a fantastic host. She was not in town during our trip but her friend Martha came to pickup at San Stae and guided us to the apartment.
When we left , I had the "good" idea to forget in the apartment a bag with my laptop, credit card, keys and a few other stuffs. A bit stressful as you can imagine. Well, Giorgia took care of everything and send me everything back via UPS very quickly. She knows how to take care of her renters, even after they left ;)
We were really happy to have chosen Giorgia's home. If you want to come to Venezia, this is really a great place to stay and for a moderate price considering the size and quality of this rental. We'll be back for sure.
