We received from our host very precise and helpful information ahead of time on how to arrive to the apartment, right from the airport. It could not have been any easier! We were met very graciously at the vaporetto stop. The apartment is literally a few steps away from the vaporetto, in a very small street in a lovely building. Like most everywhere in Venice, we had to go up one flight of stairs to reach the apartment. Very modern, very well furnished, very comfortable, and very clean, with every possible amenity you could think of. The apartment is in a perfect location, in a very lovely neighborhood, away from the masses of tourists, yet minutes away from San Marco square. We even got free concerts, with the gondoliere singing under our windows from time to time! Our host thought of everything we might need, from a miniature flashlight to help find the building street front keyhole, to rubber boots in case of San Marco square floods! We were provided with recomendations for very good restaurants and maps for the city. Our host went as far as showing us the way to the supermarket! Thank you so much to our hosts for such a pleasant stay!
