Venice was a great city and we could not asked for a more helpful host. Do to no fault of his, we got hopelessly lost on the way into town. The streets are walking only, and seem to go in circles. However, once we figured it out, it was really pretty simple. We definitely recommend GPS, both walking and driving. It saved our life. We cannot say anything but great things about Al and his home, we would definitely recommend it and stay again.
