While Orsola was away, we were greeted by her friend at the water taxi they arranged for us. Frederica was delightful and as a true Venitian her passion and knowledge was helpful in setting our plans for the few short days here. If anything the apartment was undersold. It is exquisite, with amazing attention to detail and remarkably constructed in the attic of a true palace. In the entry are pieces of art and architecture dating back centuries. It is well located away from the heavily tourist areas but close enough to walk anywhere if there was a bridge connecting it. I almost forgot the views from the 2 terraces are remarkable and in a city of close quarters it allowed us evenings and mornings of airiness and space. As you can tell we loved every minute.
