Martina's flat is absolutely PERFECT. It was exactly as was described in her AirBnB profile and was even better than the pictures showed. Enrico met us at the water taxi station and was only a 3 minutes walk to the flat. He was incredibly kind and friendly and saved us a TON of money by recommending the "shorter 3-4 minute" gondola crossings at different stations. We indeed wanted to experience a real gondola ride, but didn't need a 30-40 minute ride for $100+. The gondolas that went by in the morning hours (typically started around 9/10am) made us feel as if we were living as a true Venetian. The city was beautiful and Martina was a fantastic host. You can feel how much she loves her city and the pride that she has for it. If we are ever lucky enough to visit Venice again, we will absolutely prefer to stay at Martina's!
