Stayed at Maria's place for 2 nights and we liked it. It's right opposite to St Lucia station so it was convenient during check in and check out, one needs to cross the bridge though. Maria was kind enough to let us keep our luggage after check out as we had some time before we our train to Rome. Though we don't speak same language, she was open to listen and we were able to communicate somehow. Room is small as any other place in Venice but comfortable for 2 for a short stay. Thank you Maria
