We had a wonderful stay in Marisa's beautiful apartment. It is spotlessly clean, elegantly furnished with everything you need (and more!) for a long weekend. We were there 4 nights and it was the perfect size for our family of 4. The two girls loved the Italian breakfast Marisa provided for us. Marisa met us off the waterbus and escorted us directly to the apartment, this was fantastic as it enabled us to quickly orientate ourselves with our immediate surroundings. The location is also perfect, less than 5 minutes from the waterbus, an easy 10 minutes stroll to Rialto. We explored pretty much every area of Venice either on foot, gondola or waterbus. The immediate vicinity is great for restaurants, a supermarket and the best ice cream in the whole of Venice. Marisa recommended some excellent places to eat, all close by and not over priced. All in all our experience of Venice and Marisa's apartment was excellent, I strongly recommend it.
