Our first trip to Venice was wonderful. Venice overall does take a minute to understand the water bus system, but after that you are set to go see, do and eat. Federico's apartment was just as advertised. Great location right on the canal, less then 100 feet from a water bus station, grocery store is an easy walk. Easy walk to San Marco to see all the beautiful sights. Valeria met us at the water bus station and familiarized us with the apartment. Everything was very smooth.
