Gaetano is a great host and a very nice guy. He went out of his way to accommodate my schedule when I arrived in Venice early on a overnight flight. The apartment is a full studio, very nice, on the 1st floor (2nd floor to us Americans) and it has a great balcony with a view of the entire beach and the bike path across a narrow access road that was really only used for beach parking. You can hear the surf - it's 2 minutes onto the beach from the apartment. I arrived Sept. 18th right after the season - no crowds (it seemed like everyone was Italian). I swam (in the Adriatic) and was pleasantly surprised how clean the water was and what a great temperature. 10 minute walk to a nice Coop supermarket and a pharmacy. Some good Restaurants beachside also within 10 minutes. I will be returning in the future!
I have flown into Venice Marco Polo a few times and taken the train from the airport to Venice, and then a water bus to my bnb. This was much easier. At the airport I bought a roundtrip ticket (around 35 Euros if I recall) to the Lido. Then from the Lido it's very easy to reach all points in Venice by public water transport. Or not... I stayed beachside and enjoyed it.
