Marco's apartment was a great place to stay for a relaxed and quiet holiday in Venice. It is quite spacious for two people, and is in a relatively quiet neighbourhood. Even though, it is not on the main Venice island (for instance, one can't walk to San Marco square, which is an important square), there's easy public transport available and it takes only minutes to get there. We've been told that one can take the Hilton shuttle to San Marco "for free", but we haven't tried it. It is on the Giudecca island and the walk along the promenade in the evenings is very refreshing. The facilities in the apartment were great and Marco was very kind to let us check out a little late. We didn't get to meet Marco, but he was always available for any questions on the internet. Daniela, who showed us the apartment was very nice and friendly. I'd recommend Marco's place for anyone looking for a quieter holiday away from the touristy chaos in Venice.
