Out of the three apartments we stayed at on our seven day trip through Italy, this apartment and host stood out from all the rest. Margharite's attention to detail in ensuring the comfort of her guests was excellent. The place was exceptionally clean, light, airy, comfortable, and very well equipped with excellent linens, towels, utensils and dishes. Margharite, herself, came to meet us at the piazza del Roma and she helped me carry my suitcase up the stairs we needed to go over. She gave us detailed instructions on how to get to places and the apartment was supplied with lots of reading materials on Venice. The location was fantastic, in a very central location, with a great grocery store and lots of restaurants located within a three minute walk. This is a fantastic value for the money paid and I can't recommend Margharite and her apartment highly enough. She even went out of her way to see if a couple of other friends with apartments had them available so we could stay a little longer. Venice is gorgeous, even at this time of year and this apartment was part of the pleasurable experience we had with the city.
