We were collected from the Water Bus station by 3 lovely ladies which was an absolute treat! What a wonderful way to arrive somewhere. Paola's apartment is wonderful. We were given a tour of the apartment and information about Venice as there was no wifi available in the apartment. I actually found it quite refreshing to spend 3 days without Internet! maybe just do a little preparation or research before arriving if you are after something in particular.. The apartment is in a fantastic location! and has everything you could possibly need. We loved our visit to Venice, and our stay in a Venetian apartment. What an amazing place!
