Martina is a very helpful and friendly host. She answered my queries promptly before our arrival. Her apartment is bright, clean and stylish and well equipped in a very
convenient location, within short walking distance of the main sites , very close to
the Teatro La Fenice and less than 10 minutes' walk to a good-sized supermarket (if you can find the short cut around the Fenice!). It is only a few minutes' walk to the water bus
stop where Martina came to welcome us and where boats come directly from the airport. The apartment is also of course special because it overlooks the canal and it is delightful
to sit in the windowseat and watch the gondolas going by and listen to the music. We
very much enjoyed staying there and would love to stay again if we return to Venice.
