Marta is a welcoming host who provides a wealth of accurate information about how to get around Venice. Her 3rd-floor apartment, which she renovated herself from a state of ruin, is a stylish, comfortable space with industrial touches and beautiful high ceilings and rafters. It's a good size for 2-4 people. I would recommend it for people who are fit enough to handle walking in Venice and climbing the 3 flights of steep stairs, who are environmentally conscientious, and who like a firm mattress.
The kitchen is well-equipped with a full-sized refrigerator (hard-to-find in Europe). There is no microwave or dishwasher, but quite a few food staples left behind from previous travelers in a "chain".
There is a clothes washer complete with instruction manual (which, if you're from the U.S., you'll need. English instructions are included.)
Marta's creativity and intelligence is reflected in the many books about world art and history. She is passionate about protecting the environment, and has provided detailed instructions on how to dispose of waste responsibly
The wifi is spotty, and there are no TV streaming services (just Italian TV channels and BBC news in English). The bathroom, especially the shower, is large and luxurious by European standards.
The real entertainment is outside the door. Canareggio is a quiet, vibrant, authentic part of Venice with picturesque scenery at every turn. A canal with boats is right outside the apartment, and a delicious late-night pizza place called Pizzeria da Zorma is a short walk away (to the right of an awesome steak place called Al Timon, Fondamenta dei Ormesini, 2754.) Popular grocery stores with multiple departments are called Despar and Coop, and they close around 9 pm. Be sure to bring reusable grocery bags, which Marta provides.
Staying in Marta's apartment gives you a real sense of what daily life is like in Venice. I cherish the authentic, charming character of my time in Canareggio above all my experiences in the regions of Italy.
