Maristella's place was exactly what we were looking for! The location was extremely convenient; we were able to walk to St. Mark's Square within 20 minutes, or walk a few minutes to the waterbus stop to go anywhere within Venice. The Ca' d'Oro neighborhood was lovely, full of cute shops and restaurants serving fresh pasta and gelato. Staying here felt like we were really able to immerse ourselves in Venice. Check-in and check-out were easy, and Maristella communicated very clearly. Bring bug spray in the summer months, since there are lots of mosquitos near the canals. The price was much more reasonable than any hotel in the area, and we also had great amenities, access to the kitchen, and the ability to brew our own coffee in the morning. Would definitely recommend staying here!
