This studio is clean and bright. The building, dark and tawdry, sits next to the beach ( you can hear the surf), separated by a small strip of parking and a walk way; the beach opens June 1st. The apartment is a couple miles from the central area of Lido, requiring a bus ride ($7 Eur per hour) although we walked back to the central area to catch the water transportation to Venice. A couple of bikes would be a pleasure to ride on the island if provided. They can be rented in Lido central.

Gaetano (who gave us his card for his B&B in Venice) kindly met us after we waited for him while getting lunch. (In lieu of his recommendation to take Alilaguna from the airport, more $ public transportation, we bought passage online for Share Venice at $19 E/person [no extra luggage charge for backpack and suitcase apiece] from the airport for an excellent water taxi ride that brought us sooner than he had expected. although was advised that was happening).

He took us by city bus to his place (paying our way a short ~7 stops away). Be prepared for an added "city tax" (Lido?) of $3 Eur/day for each; he asked us to pay cash and above the Airbnb ($110/day-a bit pricey compared to our stay in Venice is a larger, better appointed stay with no added "tax" by the host).
