Federico, our host, was more than gracious. We arrived via the train and Federico prearranged to meet us just across the bridge. The apartment is about a 10 minute walk from both the train and bus stations. He spent about an hour with us, pointing out on the map restaurants, historic places and much more. He also explained about the boat taxis. The apartment was clean, spacious and quiet. It is located on a smaller canal and it was awesome seeing different boats cruise by out our front windows. There are restaurants, a bakery and grocery store very close by. We hope to return to Venezia and would be happy to stay there again.
