Martha and Umberto were wonderful hosts - the apartment was incredibly clean and tidy with all the essentials (shampoo, hairdryer, coffee, toothpaste) and within a great proximity to the vaporetto (busses), and attractions such as St. Marks square. We received daily communications from Martha who gave us advice on where to eat/drink and the main attractions. The apartment was also great value for money and much cheaper than staying at a hotel - especially for students like us looking for an affordable trip. The area was also very quiet so we got a great night's sleep and there are some lovely cafes just around the corner. They were very friendly hosts and we would definitely stay with them again. Thank you!
