We trained to the island where Francesco had advised us to take a public boat to the nearest landing. What a great idea, what a great way to start off in Venice! Francesco met us at the landing & even helped carry bags, thank you! I was lovely to be welcomed & shown to your accommodation. The apartment was exactly what you see in the pictures. It had all the mod-cons you needed & was very quite being away from the main waterways. We found it to be a great location, as everything in Venice is walking distance. The local restaurants & bars were all very reasonably priced unlike some other parts of Venice. We felt this apartment was a true reflection of typical Venice living which is what we were after. Thank you Francesco.
