From the time she met us at the boat stop, Yanet went out of her way to meet our requests - even to printing and delivering a voucher when we couldn't find a print shop. Her apartment is clean, comfortable and just off the main drag leading to the Rialto and St Mark's Square, with a supermarket a stone's throw away. Best of all, almost on the doorstep is a rustic restaurant run by the affable Francesco. When we mentioned Yanet's name as she suggested, he plied us with so many antipasto dishes we couldn't finish our mains!
