We stayed at Mariella’s in April 2018. Our trip started by meeting both Mariella and her father outside of the Condo building. Both were very welcoming and provided some great local knowledge of public transit and some places to eat. They walked us through the area and the apartment which was quite helpful. The apartment itself was very clean and centrally located. Public transit was directly across the street to take into Venice. There was a great gelato spot downstairs that we had almost every night. I would definitely recommend this place if you are visiting he Venice area.
