Staying at Marina's flat was an excellent experience. I needed a place that was quiet, with reliable wi-fi, while still in the main city of Venice. This place fit those needs perfectly. Zattere is on the edge of Dorsoduro, so quiet. But a very quick walk to Campo Santa Margherita, which is a very busy spot for socializing in the evening. San Basilio Vaporetto station is right outside the door, so getting to San Marco, Lido, Guidecca are all very easy. Quick walk to Accademia gets you to the Vaporetto on the Grand Canal. There's a supermarket directly below the flat, a fresh fruit and vegetable vendor right around the corner and fresh fish market in Campo Santa Margherita in the mornings.

During my stay, there was some construction noise from a nearby building, but it only happened a few days and wasn't a real problem.

Marina is a great host. She met me and walked me to the flat. She gave great advice for the city and stayed in communication during my stay.

I hope to return to Venice next year and stay here again.
