Maria and her kids were extremely helpful with our stay, which made it a smooth and enjoyable trip to Venice. Definitely recommend the private taxi service with Maria. Maria’s son and daughter met us at the train station (who were very helpful and went with us to the apartment). The driver will drop you off right in front of the apartment (however, depends on the water level). Her home is beautiful and walking distance to St. Mark’s Square. I definitely recommend Maria’s apartment and we can’t wait to come back to Venice and stay at the same location.
