We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Martina's place. First, Martina is super welcoming when you arrive. We arrived on an overnight train -- and needed a place for our luggage. Her apartment is very popular -- so was naturally booked the night before -- and had to be cleaned and prepped before we could move in. Yet she was able to accommodate our luggage so we could go out and have breakfast and do a bit of exploring of Venice while it was prepped. Thank you Martina! The apartment itself is on the top floor. We liked that. Venice has a lot of visitors -- and so the higher the apartment, the quieter the nights. The apartment exceeded our expectations -- its super clean and worked perfectly for our family of 4. The kitchen was actually on the large side. The location is in a quieter area of Venice -- but still very walkable to everything you want to see. I would highly recommend Martina's apartment -- and will definite look to stay there when I return to Venice.
