I cannot say enough good things about Marina and Federico’s place. It is perfect. We were a family with two young kids and it was just everything we could have hoped for in a place in Venice. It was away from the main piazza, but only a quick boat ride away. You can even walk from the apartment to the main city center. For our situation we got a several day unlimited ACTV pass so if we were tired of walking we could hop on and head back. The apartment is right next to a beautiful park with playgrounds for the kids, a small shop for small items, and a fresh fruit Stand. It is a quiet community and the apartment is perfectly placed there. Our host had everything we needed on the apartment, he met us at the ACTV stop and walked us to the apartment. He explained everything perfectly , and was always available if we and questions or needed recommendations. The apartment is so clean, comfortable, and has everything you need. You won’t regret staying here! Fantastic place and fantastic people
