Mariarosa's place exceeded our already-high expectations! Irene graciously greeted us after hours and gave us information about the apartment, as well as recommendations for Venice. (Thanks especially for the advice to take a vaporetto to the train station!) The accommodations were very comfortable, and for those like my partner, who hate living out of suitcases, the bedroom includes a bureau as well as an entire wall of closets and shelves. Overall, the listing photos don't do the place justice, especially the terrace. Head up at sunset for golden panoramic views, from the Lagoon all the way to San Marco. Don't miss the bakery out the door and to the left, and if you need a coffee to go with your croissant, pop by the Art Cafe on Campiello Santa Maria Novella just a few minutes south! We'd come back to this beautiful and affordable apartment in a heartbeat.
