Irene went out of her way to meet us and make us feel welcome. She was very cheerful and understanding. She proudly showed us her beautiful apartment, and answered all our questions. She suggested some "must-see" sites to visit, and suggested some nearby fine restaurants. And the apartment really is beautiful, with everything we needed for our stay. Everything was clean and ready to use. The location is perfect - its in a beautiful and old part of the city, just a minute's walk to the waterfront, and another minute to the Arsenale waterbus stop. San Marco square is an easy walk down the waterfront. We hope Irene's apartment is available the next time we are able to come to this wonderful city!
