You will receive timely, accurate, and helpful information from Mariacateriana throughout the process. With luggage, you will definitely need to get a Water Taxi to bring you to the dock at the apartment which we did and it was fun. A fantastic view of the Grand Canal across from one of the Accademia water bus stops. It was a pleasure getting to meet Antonella (host's mother) who greeted us upon arrival. She is delightful and most helpful
