Everything about Veronica's apartment – the furniture, the interior, the smell, the location – is very quaint and lovely. It's tucked away nicely in the east side of Castello, which is a heave of fresh air away from the very tourist-ridden centre of Venice. I didn't get to meet Veronica, unfortunately, but her very affable friend Alice was there to welcome me and show me around. She was also kind enough to invite me to an exhibition nearby and then out with some of her friends. I very much appreciated that. Thanks Alice!
