Even though Mara and Fernanda,met me at the station fairly late in the evening-I felt immediately welcome-the very first thing they did was to offer me a drink at the station cafe.We then drove to the apartment where they gave me a full orientation.Plus having some fruit,cookies,etc, there was a treat.The location is really great -with the tram to Venice right at the end of the street!I really had a sense of home while staying there-it is a very personal space-with a very well equipped kitchen.I had two friends visit while there,the first friend slept on the very comfortable couch-the second friend stayed in the small apartment next door-both wonderful places to stay-the smaller place has a lovely outdoor area to sit in.As with all of their other guests-my experience of Mara and her sister Fernanda and the apartments was super positive.I hope to return one day!
