Martina’s place is a perfect location if you come into Venice by rail or bus. It’s a short walk with luggage, and not difficult to find. It’s off the common beaten path enough so that the room is quiet, but close enough to city transportation to easily navigate the city. Or just walk the streets and discover bridges—the maze of Venice is half the enchantment!
The room we stayed in was on a second floor with an upstairs private bathroom and shower. Martina provided soap, shampoo, and nice thick towels.
The room also has snacks/breakfast food and a coffee maker with coffee. We didn’t really eat any of the provided food—with so many good restaurants in the area, why would you? The Da Nina restaurant around the corner to the north has great food, and if you go south around the other corner is a great place for morning cappuccino.
But back to Martina’s place: if you are looking for a large hotel room with a couch, desk, and slamming of doors, go to a hotel. If you are looking for a nice quiet place to sleep between your adventures in Venice, this place is excellent!
