Nicoletta wrote to give us detailed directions on how to reach her place from the train stations. Then her husband Paolo and daughter Elisa met us at the vaporetta when we arrived and walked us to the apartment. They spent a good bit of time orienting us to the apartment and gave wonderful suggestions for places to visit in Venice and places to eat there. As a matter of fact, the restaurant they recommended for supper became our daily place for our evening meal. I would highly recommend this lovely apartment on two canals. It's about a mile from San Marco and an easy walk to the vaporetto stop. Beautiful place and wonderful people!
