Our family of five (two adults and three teens) had a wonderful stay at Marika's apartment! Upon our arrival, Marika suggested several local places and provided us with maps and general directions. The location was within a ten minute walk to the train station, vaporetto, bus and taxi. Also, restaurants were plentiful! We enjoyed a different place for pastry and espresso each day; so many were close by.
Marika's apartment provided us with everything we needed. WiFi worked great; a plus for our teens! As an observation, not a complaint; the double beds were two twin mattresses put together. This was fine for my boys in the 2nd bedroom, but not what I expected for the master bedroom. In all honesty, we didn't spend much time in the apartment. There was too much to do and see around Venice.
Overall, this was a lovely apartment near a variety of stores, restaurants and patisserie shops. The area is lovely, filled with many locals and quaint. It was a great family spot, quiet in the evening, but close to so much!
