Francy's communication with us before we arrived was frequent. We called from the airport and Francy's mother met us at the apartment. We enjoyed staying on Lido with a great patio overlooking a quiet street. Rented bikes at a nearby shop and road out along the water to a rock pier to sun. Easy vaporetto ride to St. Marco square. The apartment was plain but clean with full facilities including a washer and a full kitchen. Loved the locaiton.
