Marcello was a wonderfully welcoming host. He met me and handed over the keys to the apartment as arranged. It is very well situated, just off the main pedestrian route from the Station station, an easy 400m walk. The apartment surpassed my expectations. Marcello and his wife have gone out of their way to make it comfortable and well appointed - everything I needed and more was there, from stove, microwave and washing machine to crockery, cutlery, tea, coffee, biscuits, croissants, milk and bottled water. A very comfortable apartment and caring host - I thoroughly recommend this apartment and will return next time I am in Venice.
