We were greeted by Laura who met us at the boat and walked us the short distance to the apartment. Inside was spotlessly clean and Laura gave us a full rundown on the available amenities. She then sat down with us and on a map of Venice she marked all the places of interest and some restaurant recommendations too! There is a Co-Op within 5 minutes walk; the watertaxi is 5 minutes away; the centre of Venice is 15-20 minutes and easily done on foot to save money on the water taxi. The apartment was very secure and in a quiet location but still close to everything that you will need.
