Communication with Maurizio was excellent, timely, and very helpful. Both he and Francesca were lovely and extremely helpful. She met us at the boat from the airport, thoroughly helped us get settled in and oriented. The flat was perfect and the location was easily accessible to all of Venice, while in a very quiet local neighborhood. We shopped at the early morning local fish and vegetable market and were able to cook ourselves a gourmet dinner for two in the very well appointed kitchen which had olive oil and basic spices. Would love to get back off season, as there were just too many people. High season really begins now in early April so plan your times carefully if you don't like crowds. A good time was had by all. Thank you Mauricio and Francesca for our lovely visit.
