We had a wonderful time in Venice. Paolo and Riccardo very kindly met us off the Water Bus and walked with us to their apartment which was only about 5 minutes away. Their apartment was typically Venetian absolutely beautiful with gold mirrors and chandeliers but a very modern well equipped bathroom. The apartment had everything we needed including breakfast for the next day, and umbrellas which we did use one day. It was very easy to walk to St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge. We would love to go back one day!
