We had a wonderful week in Venice and really enjoyed staying in Gianni's apartment. In particular we liked being away from the hustle and bustle of the centre areas. All the information provided in the apartment was really helpful especially local restaurants, water buses, recycling and supermarkets. We found the queues for the public water bus to and from the airport very long. On return we walked to the bus station, after two of the water buses were full, which was straightforward and not too far. We took a taxi which cost €40 which was much cheaper than a private water taxi. Gianni and his wife could not have been more helpful and welcoming.
