Martina and her place were wonderful! We met with Martina over the bridge after arriving by train, and she took us to her house. She was outstanding helping us get settled, and sat with us for almost 1/2hr explaining cool things to do in Venice, how to use the waterbuses and how to get to other islands. Martina even did our washing for us when the washing machine was broken, which was so so helpful! The place itself was really lovely, the room was big and comfortable. We had a lock in our door for extra security, but we were up some stairs and had to get through 2 doors before the apartment so we felt really safe, venice felt far from dangerous anyway. the location is premium, 10-15min walk from the bus station and 5 min walk from the train station. And just around the corner was the best gelato in venice (Alaska gelato)! Only a simple brealfast was provided. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely come again!
