It was wonderful having Marina as our host because of her warm hospitality. She went above and beyond by making sure we we had all the comforts we would ever need, including fruits, drinks, and snacks as well as a washer/dryer! Also, she was very professional giving us a clear and written contact and her communication with us was excellent by connecting with us via WhatsApp so that she could continue giving us directions to navigate the public waterways to her place where she even met us at the dock to personally welcome us into her home. Her apartment was spotlessly clean, at a great local location, and so comfortable as our main hub as we explored the beautiful unique Venice. I hope one day we can visit again and I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else!
