We were made welcome by being greeted at the Vaporetto stop by the amiable Mr. Stefano who carried my suit case to the apartment, where using a telephone translator he showed us the apartment and answered our questions. He gave us a number to contact him if we had problems which we did not need to use and he even walked us to the neighborhood grocery store.

The apartment was lovely and very comfortable. The main room has two large windows that let in the beautiful morning light, a nice cross breeze, the sight and sounds of the flying swifts, and the sweet sound of church bells. It is centrally located in a quiet, pleasant residential neighborhood.
