I was fortunate to stay at Marina's apartment for about 2 1/2 months. It was a pain in my heart when I had to come home to the U.S. I can't really say enough about Marina herself. She met me at the Vaporetto stop just steps from the front door and brought me into her lovely place to show me around. It was then that I realized that my wallet had been stolen. Marina not only took me to the police station to file a report but she also loaned me some money until I could get my replacement bank and credit cards. That is what I call over and above expectations. My stay also coincided with the November 2019 Acqua Alta which was an absolute nightmare. The apartment itself is on the 2nd floor so it was not affected but the lobby was flooded for days. Marina offered me another place to stay. Again, really thoughtful. I had a few questions, etc. during my stay and she always responded to my emails very quickly...even the silly ones like "What is the name of the Church I can see out my bedroom window?"
The apartment itself was bright and spacious. The kitchen has a large assortment of cookware, plates, glasses, etc. and she was kind enough to stock a few items for me (most appreciated...the wine). The bathroom is bright and sunny and the shower is big enough (large by Italian standards) with plenty of hot water. There was never a problem with WiFi or power.
If and when I return to Venice for another extended stay I will definitely try to book again. The location is great also. By foot or boat, it's a breeze to get anywhere.
