Wonderful experience. Irene met us at the train station and helped us get to the apartment! In Venice? That is a HUGE HELP! The apartment is the perfect size for two and just beautiful and very unique. Irene was very helpful with information, booklets for getting around and local maps and schedules for everything we needed. A walk to St Marks but away from the huge crowds, which was terrific. Lots of great unique shops and osterias nearby. Stop at the art shop nearby and grab a spritz and some Cicheti during happy hour before heading into town for dinner. Great neighborhood and great host!
