My partner and I stayed at Maria’s place, and I cannot express how lovely her place is. It is even better than the photos, and Maria is such a welcoming person. We would not hesitate to return. In light of the recent pandemic concerns, it was clear that precautions had been taken in Maria’s apartment, as it was cleaned to a high standard, and also there was even antiseptic gel available for guest use. We felt very safe in Maria’s apartment, and comfortable to respectfully (and safely) explore the beauty of Venice.
