The moment we got off the boat, Marina was there to meet us and we immediately felt welcome. It's a short walk from the boat to the apartment, through a quiet residential neighborhood. Frederico was waiting outside the apartment and, once again, warm and welcoming. The apartment was beautiful, comfortable, and lacking nothing. It's so wonderful after traveling for 8 days to have a washer and dryer in the apartment to use. There is a little local market near the apartment if you need groceries and, of course, wine! It's about a 30 minute walk to Piazza San Marco, or you can take the boat. After we spent the day in Venice with the crowds, we really appreciated the quiet of the residential neighborhood. Especially on our last night there, we went to the local restaurant down the street and had a lovely quiet dinner. Highly recommend both the apartment and the local restaurant. Thank you Marina and Frederico for the lovely accommodations.
