Martina was a wonderful host, friendly and welcoming and gave us great advice on where to go and what to do on Murano. The island itself is just 15 minutes by vaporetto from the all the sites of Venice but remains quiet and relaxed, especially after most tourists leave in the evenings. The apartment is clean, well-appointed and spacious enough for a family of four (including two large sons). I can't recommend it highly enough, we've already recommended it to several friends and intend to go back
