We arrived at the address with the assistance of Bill (Marco's father) who guided us to the house and provided a smooth introduction to how everything is situated. After a few trials and mistakes in opening and locking the side gates and operating the heating system, we felt right at home. The location is perfect for city and beech hopping. It is just minutes on foot from the Venice canals and the trendy Abbot Kenny shops and restaurants. The place is a small apartment attached to the main house, but independent in every way. We managed to make 40 tamales for Christmas Eve dinner in their small but functional kitchen. The bed is very comfortable. And the setting is quiet.
