Marcella is a superb host. Her communication was excellent and the apartment exceeded our expectations. She actually met me at the boat dock and walked me the 3 minutes to the apartment, pointing out sites along the way. The apartment is in an old palace but completely modern inside and was equipped with everyone we could have needed, including little things like voltage adapters, umbrellas and maps and guidebooks in English. The location can't be beat, well off the tourist path but only a 5-10 minute walk from the hustle of the Rialto Bridge. Thanks Marcella!
