Maria is a wonderful host, one of the kindest people I have ever met. The listing was almost exactly as described; the wifi now does, in fact, work in the room (this is a recent improvement). The bed was comfortable, the apartment is in a fairly quiet (yet central and easy-to-access) area, and the breakfast each morning was far more complete than I ever expected, even with the description Maria provides. Words can barely do justice to how positive an experience it was staying here. This stay had more personal service and was more convenient than what is offered by most hotels in Venice. Strongly recommended for any length of stay, solo traveler or otherwise.
