The host met us a little late, but that was not a problem. The apartment is very clean and new, a lovely bottle of Nero D'Avola was waiting for us when we arrived. There is a great deli around the corner selling meats and cheeses etc. The area is quite industrial and not very beautiful, but the L6 bus close to the market takes you right into the heart of Venice in about 20 minutes. The apartment is a cheaper option to staying in Venice - comfortable and clean, although I would have liked some bedding for the pull-out sofa.
Thanks for a lovely stay. The lady who was helping me by text provided such helpful information on how to get public transport form the airport to the apartment; and then continued to help me get in and around Venice for the following days. This was very much appreciated. Thank you!
