We got to Marina's place at 2pm (check in time) and Vera was waiting for us. She was very nice, friendly and gave us all the info we needed to start our trip in Venice. The terrace is definitely the best part of the apt. Marina even followed up with us the day after our arrival to make herself available in case we needed her. As for the apt., it is very well located and although it is very "centric" it is quiet at night.
