STOP LOOKING!!! This is the place that you’re looking for!!! If it is available, book it because it will not last!!! My wife and I had a fantastic 3 day stay at Maria’s place. It is just as the pictures look!!! The view of the small piazza outside of the panoramic windows is perfect. The apartment is just a short walk from a Vaporetto stop and is centrally located to the major tourist areas of the city. The neighborhood is residential and very quiet at night. Maria is the perfect host. She gave us wonderful recommendations on places to eat that we’re close to the apartment and which are places that locals go to. One thing to consider, and it wasn’t a problem for us, but the apartment is on the third floor with no elevator. When we return to Venice we will definitely try to book this apartment again.
