Marina's place was great for our stay in Venice. Her son met us at the water bus stop and showed us through the apartment. It was easy to get around as the water bus stop wasn't far away. Being away from the centre it was very quiet which was nice. The apartment was immaculately clean and well fitted out. The top bedroom had a fairly low ceiling so if every one was very tall it might not work. Something we are struggling to come to grips with are the very hard beds which seem to be standard in Italy compared with the "pillow top" mattresses we have in Australia.
We would definitely use Marina's apartment again and would love to make it a base for a longer stay.
