Paolo and Riccardo were waiting for us at the boat stop (the best way to get from Marco Polo airport to Venice is by boat - book online!) to take us to the apartment. The place is a very nice three room apartment with all amenities, including tv, stereo set and internet. Riccardo and Paolo had provided fruit, sandwiches, milk and such to make us feel welcome.
The place is centrally located, the Rialto Bridge is at a 10 minute walking distance and you can take the vaparetto, the public transport boat, at either side of the island. In the near vicinity you’ll find lots of local restaurants and cafés. We suggest you try Osteria da Alberto and Paradiso Perduto.
In brief, the perfect place to stay in Venice, which we certainly hope we will before too long.
