We spent 2.5 days in Angela's place in Lido. It has a lovely view of the lagoon, unfortunately it rained the whole time we were there. The apartment is located just off the main street in Lido, so buses run frequently and it's a 10 minute bus ride to the port, from there a 25 min ferry ride to Venice. We bought a 48 hour pass that gives you access to both the ferry and the buses.
Thank you Angela for being a wonderful host! We had a great time!!
