Marzia was welcoming and had her friend meet us at the train station since we arrived earlier than anticipated. Although I did not end up bringing my two small dogs, they were more than welcome which was nice. Apartment was a few minute walk to both the Rialto Bridge as well as a vaporetto stop. The building hallway did smell strongly of the restaurant downstairs, but the apartment did not have any traces of that at all. Street noise was still heard slightly even with windows closed- this only bothered one person in our group. The fridge was stocked with some snacks, and there were coffee and croissants waiting as well.
