We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 boys - ages 14 and 9) and we stayed at Marta's apartment in Lido. It was a very enjoyable stay - the apartment is spacious, well equipped and has a lovely balcony facing the canal. We were there to attend a wedding at the Excelsior Hotel and it was a stones throw away. The pier where you get the boat to the other islands and to the airport is about a 1.5 mile walk. You can easily get a taxi (cost us 13 euro one way) or walk. The super market where you can buy supplies is next to the ferry station. Overall, a very nice and spacious apartment and one we thoroughly enjoyed.
