Marika's place was even better than the pictures, very artistic, and immaculate. I loved that we stayed in a quiet area, away from the crowds, with a local butchers shop and many restaurants/grocery store near by. However, it was still in walking distance from all the main attractions. I also felt safe in the neighborhood and went jogging near the water every morning. Marika's mother checked us in. She was so kind to us and very informative. They made us feel very welcomed as if we were family. Our experience in Venice was amazing and I'm very thankful we got to stay here. Thank you again!!
