Good choice for summertime in Venice
This apartment was a great choice for 5 night visit to Venice in summertime.
Being on the island of Giudecca it really is away from the throngs of tourists in the main Venice area and yes.... you just get on the Hilton boat at their dock to get to Venice and back - you're supposed to be staying at the Hilton, but no-one checks.
If you feel guilty, go up to their Skyline rooftop bar and spend some money on them - it's worth it.
The contact and arrival was all taken care of by Roberto and his local person Vicky with no problems.
The apartment is on the 2nd floor and there's an elevator.
It's large, clean and has great facilities / cookware / appliances, good water pressure, good summer cooling aircon, good Wi-Fi, can be made very dark at night (with the blinds) and the windows (that seem to be double glazed) cut out almost all the noise from the boat traffic (and there's lots of boat traffic), washing machine works fine. Nice views of the side canal and waterway.
The view is a never ending change with heaps of Water Taxi, boats, cruise ships etc.
Nearby on Giudecca are several restaurants - good and cheap, a couple of grocery stores, fruit + Veg store, couple of galleries etc....and the restaurants / bars in The Hilton.
We ate dinner locally every night (sometimes cooking ourselves).
The only thing the apartment didn't have was wine glasses.
Staying here you really feel like a local - no so much a tourist.
I'd recommend this place anytime.
