We loved Mariella's place, especially the location. At first glance, you aren't sure where you are --but as it turned out, it was great. It was near the port and also near the active part of the city --you can walk everywhere. Mariella's communication was excellent and completely responsive with the muriad of questions I had. Typical Italian bathroom in that shower stall is tiny --but that was no problem for us. We loved the little balcony to enjoy our coffee in the AM. Would def. stay again.
