The dramatic space of the living area is enhanced by the ancient roof beams.

SURROUNDINGS
The north-eastern part of Venice’s Cannaregio Sestiere or quarter is particularly attractive with its three parallel straight canals, the setting for churches, palaces and minor houses alternating with gardens hidden by ancient brick walls.
It is a more open, airy and luminous part of Venice than other parts of the city.
One can stroll along these canals in peace and tranquillity, enjoying the beauty of the city without the crowds found in the main thoroughfares. Even boat traffic is less on these canals and much less noisy.
In this area there are still many shops, open air markets frequented by locals and delightful restaurants and café’s with waterside tables and live music in summer.

In only a few minutes you find the fruit and vegetable stalls of the open market at San Leonardo while the nearest supermarket (open on Sundays) is only five minutes away.

The Venetian Ghetto lies across the canal where children play in the tree lined square and visits can be made to the Jewish Museum and the historic synagogues

Perfect apartment, Great quiet location

We've stayed at several VRBOs and this one stands out as one of the most well cared for. It was super clean, well thought out, and had an overall high quality feel to it. Marta was generous with her time showing us the apartment and helping us get settled in. We really liked the location as it was very quiet, yet one bridge crossing away there was some several good restaurants and night life. Thanks Marta for your hospitality and for the care you put into your apartment.

Fantastic Flat

Cozy flat in Cannaregio was absolutely perfect and Marta couldn’t have been a better host. The location was perfect for us, walking distance from all the sights but on a quiet street one canal crossing away from a fun, restaurant and bar laden area that boasts some really fantastic restaurants.

Wonderful Stay

We enjoyed our stay at Marta’s light filled apartment. It was a true respite from the crowds in other parts of town. The flat has a well equipped kitchen, a comfortable bed and a comfortable area to read or relax after exploring the city. We would welcome the opportunity to stay here again. (For your consideration, the apartment is accessed by 3 flights of stairs.)

Fantastic flat in quiet Cannareggio

We loved our stay in this beautiful and spacious flat. It was quiet and calm at night, but easily walkable to all that Venice has to offer. Very near the flat, there was plenty of restaurants, bars and a grocery store. Marta was wonderful to communicate with and very flexible with timing and accommodations. The flat was clean, yet very cozy and made you feel at home. Everything that you need for your stay is easily available in the flat. We would definitely recommend staying here. It was a wonderful experience.

Comfortable apartment

In a relatively quiet area…pleasant retreat from the bustle of Venice. Nuovo ghetto close by & we found a restaurant on the campo we liked. Vaporetto (San alvise) & good grocery store a few minutes walk. You do have to climb stairs to the apartment.

Charming apartment in a lovely part of Venice

Marta’s apartment is sunny, well equipped, charmingly decorated and served as a very comfortable base while we were in Venice. The living room has lots of books and comfortable seating, the kitchen has everything one could need and the bed was excellent. And all are in very good condition, taste, and super clean. Cannareggio has lots of restaurants and bars along several canals so there are plenty of good dinner options close by. Marta herself could not have been nicer. She was very flexible with arrival times and gave us a good overview of the apartment features ( including an excellent washing machine which we put to good use) and provided us with a map of the area showing good restaurant and other suggestions. When we had a problem figuring out how to get tested for COVID she went above and beyond to help us out. All and all, a great stay!!

Home Away from Home

I cannot say enough about our stay in this flat. It felt like our "home away from home" from the first moment we sprawled out on the couch after a long day of traveling. Coming from the US, having a flat with windows that opened completely without a screen was amazing! We were able to open the windows in the evening and enjoy the wonderful breeze while listening to the chirping of the cicadas. It was transcending. The location was perfect for us. The neighborhood was quiet, which was an important factor in finding a place to stay. Within a 10 minute walk, there were dozens upon dozens of restaurants to choose from as well as several water-bus stops to get around Venice. There were also several gelato and bake shops to choose from. The grocery store was less than a 5 minute walk and was one of my favorite stops while we were there! Last but not least, the host is a truly wonderful woman. Marta and I communicated for months prior to my arrival to her flat for my honeymoon. When there was a delay with our arrival, Marta was so sweet and understanding. When we finally were able to check-in to the flat, Marta was very welcoming and also sympathetic to our difficult travel to reach Venice. She put us at ease, made us feel at home and from there we were able to just enjoy our time in Venice. I highly recommend staying here!!

A beautiful home away from home

Marcus home is a beautiful updated apartment tucked in a quiet corner of Venice within easy walking distance to bustling restaurants and major sights. Graciously decorated and fully equipped. My priority is to stay at Airbnbs that are offered by local residents and not impersonal property management organizations. Marta’s home fits the bill absolutely. Her tasteful touch is everywhere and makes you feel like you are truly staying in your home away from home.

Great location!

The apartment is in a very quiet area of Venice but within a short walking distance from all the action. Apartment has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Be aware that like many apts in older buildings there are quite a few stairs. This is not a problem if you are fit. Overall a very nice option for spending a week in Venice.

Ideal Spot for Two.

This is a lovely and well-lit place (on the second floor, with windows on two sides), and as it was Marta's former home, filled with everything one might need. It's very quiet and away from the tourist crowds, but just a few minute walk to such places and very close to a vaporetto stop (S. Alvise). Marta couldn't have been more helpful and when we had minor problems, she responded in just minutes. We cooked several meals and the kitchen also has everything. Highly recommended.

Wonderful host, terrific neighborhood and lovely apartment

Marta showed us around her lovely architecturally designed, well equipped apartment. There are lots of books, articles and leaflets about Venice. Over coffee we talked about her apartment, the neighborhood and Venice in general. She offered practical advice. We had a wonderful stay and will come back to her apartment as well as recommend it to our friends. Thanks, Marta!

Great Place to Stay in Venice

The apartment was large, comfortable and has everything you could possibly need for a short or long stay. The hostess provides extensive information about restaurants and other necessities in the neighborhood. The location was nearly the best part. Because it was located in a neighborhood away from much of the tourists, you got a glimpse of local life. Yet it was within walking distance of every major attraction. We stayed 5 nights and would have enjoyed a longer stay.

A Slice of Heaven in Venice

My 15 year old daughter and I recently returned from a stay in Marta's wonderful flat. Truly, we have only good things to say about Marta and her apartment that she allowed us to call home for a few days. From our first email contact to our last, Marta was professional, knowledgeable and available. Through the years, my family has stayed in many European properties and Marta's was among one of the best. The apartment was easy to find as Marta's directions were spot-on! Honestly, I was a bit nervous about finding the apartment as I know Venice is an easy place to get lost in but her map was detailed and extraordinarily accurate. She met us at the apartment as promised and was just lovely. She reviewed everything in the apartment and answered my many questions. Marta also had many materials around the apartment to make our stay in Venice as productive as we wished it to be. There were maps, guide books, articles about where to eat, shop and sight-see, as well as thorough lists (written by Marta) about things to see, do and places to eat. These were wonderful resources and we referenced them regularly. The flat was very clean, comfortable and for our needs - perfectly spacious. We felt immediately at home and enjoyed living in a quiet residential area of Venice, as the tourists were out in force during our stay. It was so nice to walk back to our quiet street at the end of a busy day and lounge in a perfectly outfitted apartment. It was also wonderful to have AC as we happened to be in Italy during a pretty brutal heat wave. We wanted for nothing in the apartment and can not even think of one thing that Marta would need to add. She even had umbrellas which we needed when we found out the intensity of Venetian summer rain storms! She is a thoughtful, kind and extraordinarily knowledgeable host and it shows in not only all the beautiful details in her flat but in how much she truly loves her city. I saw some references to the stairs in the apartment building. We did not mind them at all as they helped work off all the gelato we were ingesting but Venice as a whole is not for the faint of heart. There are stairs EVERYWHERE in this city and you will have to cross countless bridges. It is unavoidable. If you are not the walking-type, Venice may not be for you but then you would be missing out on a truly extraordinary city. We found the flat well-situated with respect to location and would have absolutely NO reservations about returning. Thank you Marta!

Quiet Location and Spacious Apartment

Upon arriving it was wonderful to be so close to the Waterbus drop-offs. Our luggage was a bit heavy so the 38 steps to the unit were a little difficult but manageable. Marta greeted us and was extremely helpful with the neighborhood information and showing us the apartment. We were very impressed with the roominess of the unit and large well equipped kitchen. We even cooked a few meals with no problem. The neighborhood grocery store was VERY close and surprisingly very large. I found the apartment to be overstocked with almost everything a traveler may need. It was extremely homey and had EXCELLANT lighting, Wi-Fi, and quite air conditioning units. Only one unit can operate at a time due to the power limits so if you are in different rooms during the summer one will not have air. The bathroom was updated with a nice shower and lots of countertop room for your toiletries. My only complaint was that the towels were extremely worn (one bath towel actually tore while my husband was using) and they felt like sandpaper. We enjoy walking and never took the Waterbus. Allow a good 25-30 minutes if walking to the touristy sites. It was wonderful taking in all stores and canals on our walks. If you enjoy a quiet retreat from the tourists during the summer months this apartment is the perfect location.
