Davide met our 8:00 pm train with a smile on his face... Walked the short distance to the apartment pointing out useful points of interest, answering all our questions. The apartment was in an excellent location overlooking the intersection of two canals. Very interesting and actually pretty quiet during the night. It was an easy half hour walk to St. Marks basilica and if you are like us, and prefer to sleep comfortably, away from the crowds, this is your place to stay.
