We were met by Laura at the ferry stop who took us to the apartment and gave us a run down on the place and local amenities. She gave us a map with various restaurants and sights marked. Having someone with local knowledge to meet us and advise us on good things to do or see was very helpful. The apartment was lovely and a great little oasis to return to after a day walking about Venice. In the square nearby there is a supermarket, bakery and several restaurants so everything you need.
