We were met at the vaporetto stop and walked to our place where a full bowl of fruit and bottle of prosecco waited for us. The apartment us close to everything without being in the crush of the crowd. There is a COOP grocery store nearby and a handy hand cart if you are going to purchase heavy items. Our hosts were responsive when we couldn't find something and needed some help. It so nice to have an air conditioned space to relax or nap in the middle of the day and break up our activities.
