We were met by Paolo at the apartment, even though due to a transport miscalculation we were very late!! He was extremely welcoming, showed us all the important things we needed to know and gave us a map with ideas for excursions while we were there. He provided a fridge well stocked with basics and a few treats, wifi PW and an extensive music collection. A great start for our 4 nights in Venice. The apartment is in a great position with close access to the Rialto markets and within easy walking distance to San Marco Square. The water bus stop on the Grand Canal, Ca Doro, is less than 5 minutes walk from the apartment. Very easy to get from the train station, by water bus, and onto Rialto, San Marco and Lido. In a word... Fantastico.
