Paola and her daughter came to the Pier to pick us up and walk to the apartment. It was a short and pleasant walk. The place is very big and clean, apparently it's their summer home. Convenient location, fishmonger in the morning down the canal and a well stocked supermarket on the main street, cafes and pastry shops close by. We had a great time in Venice, sure beats staying in a small hotel room on the mainland! The water bus to the airport could not be more convenient, just 5 minutes from the apartment.
