Alberta's place is ideally sited in Cannaregio mid way between its north and Canal Grande. Communication from Alberta was excellant beginning with a map which traced the route to the apartment both from Orto and Ca D'Oro vaporetto stops as well as advice on whether to use the Alilaguna boat service or the bus from the airport. The place was a near Fondamenta Della Misericordia with its many restaurants and bars, and near enough to the Co-op on Strada Nuova to make shopping easy. I was met by Alberta's assistant who showed me round the well equipped, clean and airy second floor flat. The main room is spacious and contains many of the owners belongings which one is free to use. The bedroom is on a mezzanine to which access is up a steep flight of steps, which are not ideal for the faint hearted. The surrounding area is very peaceful and quiet and exhibits typical Venetian architecture.
