Talk about great hosts!! We were greeted by Marika's parents and they immediately made us feel at home. The space is beautifully finished with great art and some very nice amenities. Tall ceilings, tall rainfall shower that fit this 6'4" person, and comfortable beds. The neighborhood is quiet and very local feeling. There are quite a few place to eat nearby and the location is easy to navigate with vaporetto stops close on both sides. The detailed instructions to Casa Alma were perfect. Everything we expected and more. Thanks Karin!
