I stayed two nights at Marzia's apartment with my friend. It felt like living in Venice and like coming home after long walks around the beautiful city.
There was everything we needed in the apartment and everything was clean and nice, and the furniture looked like we were in a real home in Venice. The room was a little small for two beds but I had figured it out before so it did not bother us. It was wonderful to watch and hear the boats go by on the canal. The apartment was very peaceful. We never saw or heard a single mosquito in the room or anywhere in Venice during our stay in late April.
There was a supermarket very near, so it was easy to buy something for breakfast.
The location was wonderful. I went for a walk early in the morning and it was so quiet and tranquil. Some local people walking their dogs on a nearby campo, a couple of pigeons drinking from the small drinking fountain. My heart ached.
The only minus - and that is not Marzia's fault - is that we could not stay longer in Venice.
