Our destination was a stone's throw away from where we arrived. The apartment was very comfortable and serene. YiaYia went far above and beyond to make us feel welcome (homemade Limoncelo and wine!) and provided us with all that we needed to get around Venice. She gave us detailed instructions for a bike excursion, told us about a great restaurant or two. Honestly, she was very, very kind and thoughtful. The apartment was in a great location because frankly, Venice is a confusing city to get around in. And the apartment itself was quiet and peaceful. A wonderful memory.
