Maria's apartment is splendid. Both comfortable and stylish, it features sleek and efficient modern design in a vintage old world building: a perfect combination for Venice. My family of four fit very comfortably and especially appreciated the effective air conditioning during the challenging early July heat spell. Communication with Maria was prompt, accurate, and helpful. The lovely neighborhood features good restaurants at several price levels along with interesting bookstores and boutiques. It's a 5 minute walk to L'Accademia, 10 to the Peggy Guggenheim museum, 15 to 20 across the pedestrian bridge and on to Piazza San Marco. We thank Maria and hope to visit again in the future.
