Fra's apartment in Lido is a great place to stay in Venice. I was travelling with two children, and we all loved the neighbourhood. Lido is more relaxed than central Venice, it has a nice beach and also other activities for kids & families. Still, from Fra's place it takes just about 20 min to reach the centre by vaporetto. Air conditioning in the apartment was a super super plus on hot summer days! Communication with Fra and her mother who took care of our check-in was excellent.
