Claudio met me at the water bus station, helped me get settled in the lovely apartment, and gave me information and maps for getting around Venice. The apartment is very central but in a quiet area a little away from the busy tourist section. Nearby there are several good restaurants the local people use. My room and the apartment are filled with beautiful art works. It is a comfortable and lovely place to spend your vacation in Venice. I also met Armina who is a very sweet person, and very helpful.
