Maurizio was very welcoming. He met us at the bus stop and guided us even when we got off at the wrong stop. On the way to the apartment, Maurizio gave us a quick tour of our surroundings. We had gotten off at Ospedale stop and was about 10 minutes away from the apartment, with a couple sets of stairs to consider when carrying your luggage (which is the case for all of Venice).
The apartment itself was located in a quiet residential area with a grocery store around the corner and at around 10 minutes from the famous Piazza San Marco and other touristic attractions. The apartment has traditional Venetian features that make you feel like a local. You will have to use your creativity to wash the dishes as there is no sink in the kitchenette.
Overall, fabulous place with a very accommodating host! Great wifi too
