Spacious, clean, well-located, and a great selection of books—there is nothing not to like about Martina’s place. She met us, engaged us in a bit of pleasant conversation, showed us the apt (inc how to use the washer, which we’ve discovered is not necessarily easy done in Europe), gave some great local tips, then left us to enjoy Venice. The campo below was a bit rowdy on Saturday evening, so if you are a light sleeper you are forewarned (though I imagine this is true all over Venice). We took advantage of the well-equipped kitchen and ate dinner in one night (after a quick trip to Martina’s recommended “supermercato”). Martina was “offended” at our offer to pay for a broken wine glass (yes, we had that good of time!). I would highly, and with no reservations, recommend Martina’s place.
