Maria's accommodation provides the perfect balance of hospitality and privacy! The room is very much like a hotel so you get all the privacy that you need, but topped with a daily dose of warmth coming in the form of breakfast delivered by Maria herself. Hot croissants, butter rolls, jam, nutella and so on. Great location too, literally opposite the train station. Be warned though, the bridge to cross is in no way luggage-friendly so I'd recommend a haversack! Definitely staying back at Maria's the next time I'm in Venice :)
