Maurizio was a great host - he was was very responsive to various questions we had before arriving. He also helped us find an apartment for a friend who was also coming to Venice. He picked us up from our water taxi and escorted us to the apartment and was very thorough in explaining all the features of the apartment. We loved the apartment, it was very spacious and clean, with a huge kitchen. We also loved that he provided a portable wi-fi device we could carry with us as we walked around Venice. This was very helpful to use with our GPS to find our way around the city! We really enjoyed our stay.
