Lidia kindly met us at the vaporetto (boat) stop and walked us to her apartment. She explained how things worked in the apartment and also the history of the place. It was beautifully furnished and had everything a family of four needed. The location was perfect, a minute walk to the Rialto Bridge and Grand Canal. There were many shops and markets at the front door. We had a great stay in Lidia's lovely apartment and would recommend it.
