Maria's place is exactly like to photos. Some of the key amenities include washer and dryer, AC (although not always needed, due to fresh cool air near the beach) and a secured private parking space behind property gate (but also street parking was not an issue for guest). Security was a "big thing" for me near Venice, Maria place is fully gated and requires an access code to enter through the front and back/gate. The unit is also located on a beautiful street with nice homes. The unit is private from it's connected property and has its own entrance. The courtyard as seen in the picture is COMPLETELY enclosed and can only be accessed through the unit. If you have pets you'll like the privacy and security. Also, you can tell Maria and her partner are total dog lovers the unit is fully equipped with dog beds, bowls for your little furbaby.
About our host Maria, when I arrived I immediately reached out to Maria for an iron. She was quick to respond that she did not have one but could purchase if needed. As an alternative there was a small steamer. The steamer was perfect and work really well but I appreciated the offer. We stayed for 30+days, and the place was fully stocked with all the things you would need for a long term rental but also I appreciated how accessible and approachable Maria was should we find ourselves in need of anything.
Maria's place everything we wanted it to be and we will look back at our time in Venice fondly. I can say honestly NO complaints, perfect stay!
