Martina is a lovely host. She speaks many languages fluently and is a great conversationalist. I felt safe and secure as a female traveling alone. The apartment was clean, quiet and comfortable, with WiFi. The apartment is conveniently close to all transit and next door to a great pizza place. I had a wonderful time in Venice and I got lost many times, but I was always able to find my way back to Martina's place. When I come back to Venice I will definitely call upon Martina.
