I could not have asked for a better apartment than Mara's during my solo stay in Venice! Upon arrival, Mara's sister Fer met me at the airport and gave me a brief tour of the apartment and neighbourhood, so I felt welcome and well looked after right away. Getting to Venice by tram was very straightforward, and the apartment was a lovely, quiet place to sit and write, cook, or enjoy a coffee in the garden when I wasn't sightseeing. Communication with Mara was excellent leading up to as well as during my stay. I would certainly stay here again and recommend Mara's apartment to other travelers. :)
