We had a wonderful stay at Maria's place. It was easy to find (right across the canal from the train station), which made checking in and out a breeze as we didn't have to haul our luggage around all the small streets. We arrived several hours earlier than check in and Maria was very kind in letting us leave our things there as we explored the city. She also had several helpful travel guides and maps we could borrow during our stay. In the morning we had a charming breakfast brought into our room before checking out. Once again, Maria's kindness shone as she let us leave our bags in her place again for several hours before we had to hop on our next train. I would highly recommend Maria's lovely and comfortable room for anyone looking to visit Venice. Thanks for everything Maria!
