Marika and her mom, Karin really made us feel welcome and made our arrival in Venice very easy. Marika had provided us w detailed instructions (complete w photos) on how to find the apartment but Karin wound up meeting us right as we got off the water ferry so it could not have been easier. The location was perfect in a quiet neighborhood but close to everything. The apartment was quiet and extremely comfortable and was equipped with everything we could have imagined to make our stay perfect.
