Maristella’s place is very convenient in all parts of Venice, it’s easy accessible in major attractions, near shopping area, groceries, and restaurant. The location is easy to find we followed her directions and it’s just right on spot. We didn’t have a chance to meet but she’s constant on her communication, she prepared a cold Prosecco drink for us a very sweet thoughtful gesture to welcome us. The neighborhood is quite and safe even you walk late at night.
For my fellow travelers here some tip for you:
1. Minimize the luggage’s you’ll bring to Venice Island, if you have huge luggage you’ll strangle on dragging them in waterbus especially lifting them on mini and big bridges they have. You can have some of your luggage stored in the nearby storage area next to the bus/tram station before riding the waterbus. There’s some for 5 or 7 euro per day.
2. Know your neighborhood as well how the waterbus or any transportation you’ll be using. Their ticket has expiration and you have to be precise and be understood on how you want to travel for your ticket (one way or both ways) But the best one is to purchase their unlimited ride for a day, which will save you money from jumping to one place to another and it will expire after 24 hrs it will start from the date you purchase from the time you validate the tickets. We visited different islands like Murano, Burano, and Lido. “Regardless where you go with your ticket you must validate it, or else you’ll end up paying a huge ticket fine” other than that have fun and even you get confuse and get lost in the different Cale just enjoy and you’ll find your way out. Venice is beautiful you all have fun!
To sum up my family of 3 had a comfortable stay and had fun in Venice. Thank you for having us!
