Martina's apartment is a great place to start our Venice and then a cruise to the Greek islands adventure. It has a great location, a few blocks from the Plaza de San Marco, and many commercial stores. With the bonus that you can hear the gondoliers singing that pass under the windows. The reception from Martina was great, she waited for us in the vaporetto stop, but she even helped us getting our luggage to the apartment and took the time to explain the maps of the city, means of transport, nearby shops, etc. An excellent host, in every sense. If we return to Venice we will repeat the stay in this apartment.
