We stayed for 3 nights during the month of August and had a wonderful time at Marianna's apartment in Venice.
It was almost equidistant between St. Marks square and the Rialto bridge area. Steps to every restaurant, bar and gelato place you could imagine. The amenities were outstanding and the space in the apartment suited our family of five just perfectly. Everyone had their own bedroom and their own shower with a great deal of space.
Most definitely, the highlight was the balcony opening up until the canal and hearing the gondola singers through the day. It really made the apartment that much more charming. Thanks so much Marianna for everything.
