Marzia's apartment was beautiful, modern, and great location for our short stay in Venice. We had 3 people in our group and it was more than enough room. It is close enough to the Rialto - the main access point to San Marco. The WIFI worked well, but we wished we knew the A/C was only in the living area. This made it hard for cool air to reach the bedrooms, which is something we needed after a very hot day in Venice. Marzia's friend met us at the train station and walked us to the apartment which is about a 15 minute walk - remember to pack light and without roller bags for Venice! There are lots of bridges! The meeting instructions could have been better. It was hard to find the contact. The seafood smell was in the stairs but not the apartment (BTW good snack!). The neighborhood is really busy during the day, but it gets really quiet during the night. It was a great stay for Venice and would recommend!
