This is a charming and large apartment set back in a garden behind the main house. It is right next to the ferry line that goes to Venice proper (take the #12 that runs every 20 minutes to S.te Nove) and then you can walk anywhere in Venice. The trip takes about 30-40 minutes. The boats may be up to 7 minutes early, so keep an eye out so you don’t miss it!! There is an express from S.te Nove dock D at about 11-11:30 PM that gets you to Mazzorbo quicker (smaller boat, faster speed).
We did not explore Burano, which is the island next to Mazzorbo. Our host stated there was a grocery store as well as some restaurants which need reservations for dinner and are better for lunch.
The shower is a hand-held hose and works better as a bath; there is considerable leakage with the shower stall partition.
The host was amazing! She met us at the ferry and gave us lots of tips! There was coffee and sugar to use, and a very clean and nice kitchen. The washer and dryer were very convenient as well. There is a little table outside where we sat and had breakfast and watched the sun rise over the garden. Very romantic!! The house feels very secluded but very safe! The neighborhood is very quiet.
