Mara met me first thing the next morning. She is delightful and gave me a quick walking tour of the area. Once I understood how to turn on the AC, where the grocery store was, how the trams work and how you get tickets, where to put trash, and was introduced to the two resident cats I felt much better about my visit. Then Mara actually picked me up the final morning and drove me to the airport. I was going to take a cab, but this was so much nicer and very considerate. I loved having breakfast and dinner outside in the small patio. I enjoyed the convenience of the location, half a block from the supermercato, and a block from the tram into the Piazza Roma in Venice. I washed my clothes in the sink but the drying rack provided dried everything quickly. This is a great spot for someone who enjoys cats, likes privacy, wants to cook their own meals on occasion and goes to bed early. The apartment is very small, the frig even smaller, so don't plan on freezer space, but for one person it was fine. At night there is little to do but go to bed, there is no really comfortable living room area with good lighting. The shower is a drain on the floor of the bathroom with an attached shower head, and a very flimsy curtain so the bathroom is wet most of the time. But I enjoyed my stay, the single bed is comfortable, and I felt at home there with flowers and plants and visiting cats and quiet, after a busy day walking around Venice. Warning, bring DEET, and your own washing soap.
