Marzia was super sweet and very helpful:she arranged for a livery car to pick us up from the airport and deliver us to the closest point a car can make it to her house in Venice, which was a short walk. She also helped us with getting our luggage from the airlines as it came in on a flight the following day. The house itself is cozy and located more in the residential / student section of Venice so the area immediately around it is not quite as touristy as some of the other areas. It is pretty close to the San Lucia train station which is convenient if you want to grab one of the forms of public transit available (water bus, bus, train). The house was clean, with a nice shower and a very comfortable bed.
