Maria is fabulous and her place is delightfully modern chic. A fun place to stay and not too far a walk to most places. I was a little confused by the directions when exiting the boat so hopefully this will help. As you exit the the vaporetto/boat, turn left, cross two bridges. Immediately as you cross the second bridge, turn right, then walk to the next bridge. The rest of the directions are great. I highly recommend Waters Door!
