Marina's place is clean, nicely decorated and well furnished with modern amenities. The washer was a big plus as the rain during our stay soaked our clothes while we walked around Venice. Marina generously had prepared some breakfast items and drinks in the refrigerator. We loved the location of her home. It is only a 20 minute walk to the Piazza San Marco. Also being toward the end of the Castello district brings peace and quite at night. S. Elena Vaporetto stop is a minute walk from the doorsteps. We came to appreciate the open area of the Giardini in front Marina's place after days of navigating narrow corridors and canals of Venice. We hope to visit Venice again someday. We hope Marina's place will be available then as well.
