Marco met us at the train station which was very welcoming. We had large bags since we were coming off a 7 day cruise. It would have been nice to have been given a choice of taking the water taxi and only having to cross one bridge with steps instead of 5-6 bridges with steps. My husband injured his back resulting from this.... The water taxi should be included in the published nightly rate and not extra. The location of the apartment is EXCELLENT! Marco gave great references for restaurants and shopping, etc.
