Maria's home is tucked away in a neighborhood with mostly locals. You can get to any area in Venice within 20 or so minutes. We loved the location as it was away from tourist trap restaurants/attractions. The home itself was the perfect size for two people. We had everything we needed. Maria responded promptly with each question we had. She also offered a separate room by the entry hall for luggage storage if your departure was after the check-out time. Highly recommend!
