We had a fantastic stay in Venice! Gloria and Pietrantonio met us at Piazzale Roma and walked us to the apartment (thankfully!). Gloria speaks English and French, so we were able to communicate very easily. She gave us tips on where to shop and some advice on the vaporettos. The apartment is exactly as billed - we loved being on one of the smaller canals. It was so quiet compared to Rome and Florence. The air conditioning and wifi were excellent. We could walk everywhere, but after we bought the Vaparetto Dell'Arte passes, we took the VA a lot to avoid the crowds (the vaparetto stop is only a 5-minute walk). We were able to store our luggage all day as we had a late flight.
