I chose this place last minute for a Venice getaway, without much investigation. Luckily, we stumbled into a beautiful little apartment tucked away in a very quiet and charming neighborhood. The place was clean, had tasteful artwork and a little kitchen and sitting area that was perfect for cooking and relaxing in. Marilia let us stash our bags in the apartment before check in and was gracious and kind in all of our interactions. I highly recommend her spot for anyone looking for an authentic experience of Venice!
