Fabio and Linda were wonderful. A person really could not ask for a better location for the “authentic” Venetian experience whether a first-timer or a seasoned frequenter of Venice. The location was accurately represented on the map. We parked at Tronchetto and took the #2 Vaporetto to the S. Zaccaria (M.V.E.) "B" dock. Although I am fairly familiar with the Byzantine maze of alleyways and streets of Venice, our hosts graciously met us at the dock and led us to our accommodations even helping us with our luggage. The apartment was fully furnished and cleverly decorated, creating a subtle Venetian ambiance with a modern taste. We did not have the need to contact our hosts often; however, when we did their replies were timely. I cannot stress how advantageous the location is. It is perfectly situated to provide rapid, easy access to both mingle and be part of the tourist scene or simply melt away from the crowds and experience authentic Venetian neighborhoods and establishments as a local would do.
