Maurizio's apartment in the Castello neighborhood was the perfect place to stay. Just a short walk from the main tourist sites but still quiet and removed. The apartment and building are pristine and brand new...the elevator was amazing when we were checking in and out with our luggage! Francesca was so kind and met us at the vaporetto stop, talked in detail about Venice, the culture and pointed out places of interest along our walk. She made many recommendations all of which turned out to be excellent. She was also available whenever we had questions. I would absolutely stay here again when I return to Venice - I don't think there is a better possible place!! They also left us a little treat since they knew it was our honeymoon. The perfect touch!!
