Martha was a great host! Her correspondence before we came, and once we were there, was great! Her directions on how to get to her location were perfect. She met us on time. She was very helpful with suggestions on what to do in Venice, and even has a map up in the apt with places marked. I could tell she thought about her guests even after she checked them in, because when we had a rainy day, she texted us with tips on what to do! The apt is adequate and clean. The location is great! It is quiet, and just a short walk to San Marco Square or the Rialto Bridge. While we were there, the internet was not working well, but she was going to look into getting that corrected. A great experience!
