We stayed at Maria's home for the last 3 nights in Venice and had a wonderful time! The home is outside of the touristy area of Venice which we loved. It was easy to reach San Marco by walking or water taxi. Maria was unable to meet us at check in because we had booked this last minute but her lovely daughter Constanza met us at the water taxi, walked us to the home and checked us in. Maria was very responsive by email and answered all my questions! We would definitely stay here again if coming to Venice! Make sure to wander around and get lost in this beautiful city!
