A very warm welcome from Paolo and Luz(n their cute baby daughter, Maria), hope I get their names right. Upon arriving Piazzale Roma, we ring up Paolo, and he make an effort to pick us up and lead us to his apartment on foot. Alternatively, if we take the vaporetto(water bus) line 2 in 3 stops which is St. Toma, walk 200m will reach his place. They even offer a bottle of champagne as welcome drink, a pack croissant and a big bowl of chocolates. A wonderful apartment in a charming old venetian house, equipped with everything necessary. On the ground level there is a restaurant, first level is where Paolo and Luz apartment is and the listed apartment is on 2nd level. Plenty of heaters in the apartment even in the shower, which make the room warm in the winter time. All the pubs, restaurant, grocery, supermarkets(recommended) n etc. are within 100m radius. Purchase a vaporetto ticket will conveniently bring you to all the places you want to visit. Paolo make a very good effort to introduce the neighborhood in English to us. Highly recommended to stay at this apartment.
