We had a lovely time in Venice at Paola's apartment. It was a good location very near the F.te Nove ferry dock and not far from the Rialto bridge and s S. Marco. It was fun to sit at the window and watch all the boats including the Garbage boat and ambulance boats. No cars in Venice everything is by boat on the canals. Which makes walking around easy as you don't have to worry about traffic. Security of the apartment could be improved However the area seemed safe and was very quiet away from the high tourist areas. We were comfortable and Paola was very approachable and helpful. We were met at dock and taken to the apartment, Paola also sent us a message during our stay to check that everything was going well.
