Fantastic location:
5 minutes walk to the Rialto bridge, 10 minutes walk to St. Mark's Square, and 5 minutes walk to the Alilaguna stop to the airport. Unbeatable location, with a residential feeling but close to lots of interesting areas and easy access to supermarkets, restaurants, bars and shops.
Great host but also great set up for a private, independant stay:
Marina is a lovely, thoughtful host. She helped us find the home, prepared the beds and turned the heating on before we got there so it was warm and cosy upon arrival. She gaves us some tips and recommendations on where to go and then left us to it. She was always available if needed, but we had our own entrance to the home and felt very independant.
All the essentials plus breakfast!
Comfy beds with lots of blankets and pillows, a steaming hot shower, problem-free wifi access, a strong heater and a large, spacious main room with a cupboard and seating area. There's even reading material including info on Venice or general fiction novels.
The kitchen has a microwave, kettle and coffee machine, and Marina provided tea, coffee, milk, individually wrapped breads and pastries, jams, juice, bottled water and Prosecco!
Marina's place is the perfect home for 2-3 people to stay at to discover Venice. We spent all day walking around the island and could then rest and recuperate at night so we were ready to go again the next day. Cannaregio is a fantastic location of Venice and Marina is a great host.
