Paola was very nice and sweet. She picked us up from Fondamente Nuove and walked us to the apartment. The apartment is well equipped and clean, and she even had some breakfast foods ready for us.

It is about a 5 min walk from the vaporetto stop (water bus), but if you have luggage, be prepared for stairs as you go over bridges. The apartment is in the much quieter/residential/less touristy area of Venice, Canneregio, which I really appreciated!
