Location- excellent, near Rialto Bridge, and a local open air fish & produce market. Apartment was neat, clean, and all appliances worked. Heat, and hot water also good. Bed was comfortable, and the noise level very low (and during Carnival no less). Enjoyed my stay immensely. Only one bad comment; they hid it well, but I found a bathroom scale in the apartment. Intolerable! With the most excellent selection of pastries in Venice (not to mention the Carnival fritolli), no one needs to see the inevitable result of a stay in Venice. This should be removed immediately! (Kidding of course). Had a great stay. Maria's will be my first choice if I get a chance to come back to Venice. Many thanks Maria.
