Marty was awesome. She met us with her adorable dog just outside the train station right when we got in to town. Her beautiful 14th century home is in a relatively easy to find location. She also provided us with a map and plenty of great advice about what to see in Venice. She also comes every day to clean the kitchen and bathroom so the place is spotless. There are two bedrooms in the apartment with a shared bathroom, but we had no problems sharing the space with Marty's other guests. Overall, the quality of the apartment is as good as a nice hotel, but with better service and better prices. We highly recommend staying at any place that Marty runs.
