We arrived in Venice and texted Silvia who said Christian would be waiting for us when we got to the boat stop and what do you know -- Christian was there waiting for us, very warm and welcoming. The apartment was still being cleaned when we arrived but not to worry -- we headed into town and grabbed lunch as we were hungry anyway. The apartment is very cute and a nice location near Accademia. Walking distance of everything and away from the train station which was great.
