Elisabetta met us at the ferry stop. She knew who we were before the boat even pulled up. Her apartment is in a really great part of Venice. It is about a 5 minute walk to both Saint Mark's square and the Rialto bridge. It feels very safe. I stayed there with my husband and 3 children. She set up an extra bed for my 4 year old. When we arrived she had wine for us and chocolates and biscuits for my kids.
