Martina and her son Alberto met us at the water bus stop (Giglio) to help us reach the apartment successfully. She explained where we were and how close everything was. She gave us landmarks to make sure we know where we are which was so helpful roaming the streets at night. Martina was very thorough and sweet helping us locate local restaurants and places to see. Overall, Martina was an excellent host...

Now, onto the apartment.... you cannot find a better deal. I'm not lying when I say my fiance' and I woke up the first morning to gondola singers serenading right outside our bedroom window (which is in the photos). I was absolutely breath taking and surreal being able to always hear the signers and watch people on the gondolas go by. The apartment has everything you need and a washer/dryer! Martina had some things already stocked, like that yummy coffee we had every morning. Oh, and the wifi is GOOOOOOOD!!!! The apartment is PERFECTLY located in Venice and LITERALLY a short walk anywhere.... especially San Marco Square... maybe 5 minutes or less. Because of the location it makes exploring sooooo much easier. I searched for months for an affordable apartment in Venice, that had a water view and was close to San Marco Square.... this is the place.... If you are thinking about staying in Venice... stay here.... you wont regret it I promise.
