Mina was a wonderful hostess and made sure we were comfortable and she showed us all of the apartment features. Waking up to the sounds of the harbor started our day off with excitement and we were ready to begin our adventure in Venice. It was a short 10 minute walk from the boat dock upon our arrival because of the routing of the Alilaguna boat from the airport. The Valparaiso dock right outside the door was extremely convenient although we only used it a couple of times. We found that the walk to San Marco, although listed at only 20 minutes, was rarely accomplished in that amount of time because of the abundance of shopping opportunities that were available along the way. We will definitely return to Mina's apartment the the next time we visit Venice. Thank you Mina for the wonderful beginning of our Italian adventure.
