Venice is such a beautiful place! We were greeted by Federico's wife at the train station. She guided us back to the apartment which was small but enough for us. Federico came to greet us a few hours later and he was very pleasant. He is an excellent host. Only problem was that we thought there was a clothes washer but there wasn't one and that made things a little difficult. Federico also offered us a ride to the airport which made things more convenient for us. Thank you!
