Marina and Federico are the most gracious of hosts. Marina gave us complete directions for getting to the apartment, but when the boat failed to stop as expected, she immediately gave directions for how to come back. Thank you, Marina. We loved the apartment. It was very clean, quiet, and modern. It is in a residential area next to a park that smells of flowers. Just a short stroll across the park are benches facing the lagoon where we watched the boats as the sun set over Venice. We enjoyed two nearby restaurants. The neighborhood is peaceful; far enough away from the crowds but not too far to see all of the sights. Being very near the vaporetto stop, it is a quick hop over to Lido and the beaches. We very much enjoyed our stay.
