We took the train from Florence to Venice. Sabastiano had a water taxi ready for us and a storage area to hold our luggage so we could explore the city prior to check in. Alice met us and took us to the apartment and gave us suggestions on where to catch a gondola ride and to me sure to check out Murano and Burano. We did visit Murano a couple of times for the glass. It was all very beautiful. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Fresh croissants were dropped off to us right before checkout. I highly recommend this apartment if you are visiting Venice.
