We had a wonderful experience staying at Maria's flat. The ability to stay in Venice allowed us to experience everything without any time constraint for buses, or ferries, ect. Even during the day, we could escape from the craziness just by slipping down a small alleyway into our own retreat. Each night, we visited a particular wine bar. We sat with our glasses of wine and snacks, and watched Venice wind down for the day. The location was perfect as there was little walking necessary.
The flat itself was a simple, comfortable room with a separate bathroom. Maria came in each morning with delicious warm pastries and fresh orange juice. A perfect way to wake up! She was very kind and generous, and we enjoyed her company.

Thanks again for a wonderful experience!
