We had a nice stay in Venice at Andrea's place. Andrea had to work on the day we arrived, but his father Paolo met us at the train station, showed us the way to the apartment, and chatted with his. Paolo was probably the friendliest Italian we met on our two week vacation, and it was very fun to talk to him on our walk. This apartment is very fancy inside, with super cool Venician floors and furniture. The kitchen is handy and was stocked with coffee and essentials. The bathroom is large, as is the shower, which was nice considering all of the tiny showers we encountered on our trip. There are lots of bars and restaurants nearby, with a great little take out pizza place a few minutes away. We also discovered one of the Vapporetto (water bus) stops is a few minutes North of the apartment and the last stop between Venice and the airport for the Alilaguna water bus (Called M'Dell Orto), which was great for us because we flew home from Venice after our stay. Or, if you are flying into venice, you could take that water bus from the airport there and it would be the first stop coming into town. Really cool! Anyway we had a nice stay and really enjoyed the place!
