If you would like to have the greatest Venice experience along with a touch of how the locals live, I highly recommend reserving Enrico's apartment. The apartment is comparable to a town home in the states. It was very clean and comfortable with all of the required amenities. The host also was very informative on commuting between the islands and where to shop and dine. Our stay was so pleasant we would have spent more time in Lido had we planned a longer stay. The lagoon is on one side and the beach is about a 10 minute walk the opposite direction. Looking forward to reserving again in the future. Thank you Enrico and Giovanna.
