Marina's apartment is on the second floor of a building with a restaurant right outside the front door. It is on a lively street with restaurants, fruit vendors and shops all along the way. A quick walk through the park gets you to the vaporetto station to get anywhere you want. We took it to Lido Island (two stops on the vaporetto) to swim in the sea on a hot afternoon. It is also very easy to walk along the canal to reach St. Mark's Square. Marina was waiting for us at the vaporetto station and took us to the apartment to show us around. She was a wonderful host.
