Eugene´s sister, Cleo, greeted us on our way to the apartment and was a wonderful host throughout our stay. She welcomed us with a bottle of white wine and sweets from the local bakery. As she lives in the house above, she was always there to help with queries, fresh towels and showed us the best places to eat in the neighborhood and the farmer´s market on Saturday morning.
The apartment was very neat and perfect for two people with its well-equipped kitchen, small sitting room and bedroom. As Eugene said in his description, it´s very close to just about everything you might want during your holidays: clean local beaches, bars and good restaurants can be reached in 2 minutes. At the same time, it´s quiet as there is no street traffic or other noise during the night. The other residents sometimes put their chairs outside and chat in the street, which creates a nice atmosphere. Also, the bakery and grocery shop are at your doorstep and you can watch movies in the open air cinema in the nearby city park. We saw a concert there on the weekend. The area is just outside the Venetian city walls and is not touristic, which we liked. You can walk along the seafront to the Venetian harbor and downtown area in 15 minutes. The airport bus stops at the stadium at your request and you can backtrack about 50 meters to the house, which was very convenient. Cleo met us at the steps and guided us to the house as we arrived at 9 pm. We had a wonderful time and hope to return. Thank you!
