Marco was a great host, kind enough to meet us at the house and let us drop luggage when we arrived earlier than expected. Really useful local information about the best restaurants (one of which we went to twice it was so good!) Luxury to have a washer for a family travelling light, and small kitchen was well equipped for preparing meals. Air con was a real joy after being out all day in 36 degrees! Perfect location for a walk to all the sights and we really enjoyed staying in an area with real Venetians as neighbours. Recommend highly to anyone wanting to experience all aspects of Venice.
