Maria was amazing! She was waiting for us at the apartment as soon as we arrived, and gave us a detailed review of all the apartment amenities. The apartment is fantastic. It had everything we needed. It's clean and bright, with a wonderful view. More than big enough for 2 people, although the kitchen is small any only good for 1 person to cook in at a time. There is also a small but useful cloths washing machine. Maria also gave us a great overview of the Dorsoduro area of Venice. With advice for good restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, vegetable boat, walks, museums, etc. We really enjoyed this area of Venice because it was fun an lively without being completely overrun with tourists. It's east to walk to the centre on Venice, or catch the (very crowded) vaporetto (water-bus) from the nearby stop. We loved this location so much we would love to live here full time!
