Marisa was a great host! We were six and she was able to accomodate us with no obstacles. After meeting at S. Stae waterbus stop it was a short walking distance to the apartment. It is clean, spacious and well equipped. There are AC units all over, very convenient during the summer! A few good restaurants and delicious Gelato place are nearby. It was a 20 min walk to San Marco, we used the waterbus as well. I personally think it's more convenient to get the day pass for the waterbus. Cheers : )
