My husband and three year old daughter spent three nights in July at Maria's place mid July. The location could have not been more perfect! It was close to Piazella Roma where we parked our car, and across from Ferrovia where you can catch many vaporettos, plus the neighborhood was perfect for walking to major sites. Most of all we appreciated the lovely clean and cool room, and the splendid and generous breakfast Maria provided every morning. She even cleaned the room everyday while were out and was very sweet to our daughter. Why pay high prices at hotels when you can get a clean, roomy, and cool room in the center of Venice, I would highly recommend Maria's place.
