We had a wonderful time staying at Mariolina's apartment. The location was perfect for us, just a 10 minute bus ride into Venice and away from the tourist crowds. Mariolina gave us fantastic instructions on how to get around the local area and suggestions on great restaurants to eat (our first dinner was at The Dining Room - delicious).
She was very fluent in English, which made it very easy to communicate. The apartment was good, just what we needed for a 3 night stay with all the essentials required.
