Maria was a great host. She was very responsive, in-person she was welcoming, warm, and personable. She gave us a tour of the apartment when we arrived there and also recommended restaurants nearby.
The apartment is adorable and quaint. We felt like locals staying there. There is a canal in front of the apartment and a small square, where we ate lunch once at restaurant called Oniga (I recommend that place and order the black ink spaghetti. Yummy!) There’s also a cafe in the square where we drank Americanos and people watched.
There is a water bus stop near the apartment, about a 2 minute walk. My husband and I had a lot of fun learning (and making mistakes) on how to use the water bus system. It was such the adventure!
Everything is walkable from the apartment, San Marco square is about a 10 min walk. There are lots of restaurants near the apartment, we ate close by at Wisteria. Everything about Venice is so magical, and this apartment was enchanting. You’d enjoy your stay here.
We stayed for two nights. We packed lightly for our Italy trip, so it was nice to have a washer for wash your clothes. It rained during our stay in Venice. But that is to be expected in November. That didn’t stop us bc we still rode a gondola in the rain (so romantic in the rain! Don’t forget to pack your umbrellas if you’re visiting in November). The gondolas at Rialto Bridge is what we rode on, and it did not disappoint. We saw other couples riding in the rain too.
I’ll be dreaming about Venice and this apartment.
