Our hosts were great. We were met at the vaporetto stop Rialto and took a short walk to the apartment allowing us to begin to experience Venice. The advice Francesca gave us was invaluable. There is so much more to Venice than Campo San Marco. We took a tour of Burano, Murano, and Torcello. We wandered in neighborhoods away from San Marco and I discovered the Naval Museum. The apartment was a great location. Easy to get to everything many restaurants nearby. Inside it was clean and comfortable with every convenience. And the Gondoliers singing every morning was great experience we never tired of hearing. Best way to see Venice in my opinion and so helpful actually marking important things on the map for us. Love the apartment design elements. Ristorante Alla Rivetta one of our favorites. Enjoy!!!
