This is a lovely apartment and the location truly is perfect close to Piazza san Marco, shopping areas, and wonderful restaurants. The host, Veronica, guided me from the parking garage on the mainland by phone, pointing out specific landmarks, vaporetto stops and other specific instructions. At the time, I was thinking it would be nice for someone to meet me at the garage itself, but when wandering home from the restaurant the first night, in the dark streets and hundreds of dead-end alleyways, I was grateful that I knew what I was looking for and even though it was tough, Veronica's reminders helped me get back home in labyrinthine Venice!
