Wow! This apartment was wonderful. The location could not have been better. The proximity to the Rialto bridge, but the location on a side street, meant that we were close to the heart of the tourist sites but on a quiet enough street that having privacy was easy. The apartment itself was also great. It was very big, very clean, and had everything we needed for our short but lovely stay. We were greeted by Paola's sister and mother at the water bus stop. They showed us the necessary sites on the street and also how everything worked in the apartment. They also provided us with maps and guidebooks, and helped us figure out how to get to the airport for our super early departure. Really a wonderful find!!
