We took the “orange” La Laguna water taxi from Venice airport and it stopped about fifteen steps from Paulo’s place! Paolo met us and made sure we got settled comfortably in our room w/bath. Couldn’t have landed in a better place in Venice. The area was lovely, plenty of people for February, but nothing like the massive crowds around the San Marco area. Good restaurants and shops and the Jewish Ghetto was charming. 24 hour pass on the water taxi made it possible to see all areas of the island. WiFi and bed both important to us we’re fine. Short but great stay.
