Lucio met us at the vaporetto stop when we arrived from the airport in the late evening. He guided us to the apartment, introducing us to the neighborhood and the apartment. The apartment was exactly as described in his posting and the neighborhood is a wonderfully quiet, residential area with easy walking access not only to a local supermarket, butcher and fruit and vegetable stands, but also to a variety of local restaurants and to tourist sites of interest. Two of the great campi (squares) of Venice (San Giovanni e Paolo and Sta. Maria Formosa) are within a 10 min. walk.The apartment is very well equipped and roomy, with space to sit and to eat comfortably in the large living room. The building itself has all the charm of old Venice. It's quiet, with only the sound of an occasional boat on the canal or the children going to school or the bells of the nearby churches to disturb one.
