Massimo was a very kind host and helped us with every step of the process, even when our flight to Venice was four hours late arriving. The apartment was very clean and in a quiet neighbourhood. There are oven trees outside the living room windows and an outdoor deck, which is rare in Venice. The apartment was larger than we anticipated and was very stylish. It is about a twenty minute walk from the bus/train station but the walk is very interesting with lots to see along the way. The air conditioning was a blessing on the warm evenings.
