We arrived in Venice during a crazy rain storm and just as we had discussed, Marty was waiting for us by the bridge. She is awesome! Venice is a super touristy town; however, Marty explained what neighborhoods to go to as well as where the good (and cheap) restaurants are. She even suggested this neighborhood party which was awesome.

The flat was clean and in a fantastic location (near train station and less touristy area but still close to everything). The street is super cute and very safe (even late at night).

If you're going to Venice, I highly recommend staying at Marty's flat.
