We did really enjoy the apartment. Location is great, it is about a 10 minute walk to Piazza St. Marco, the Rialto Bridge and Fondamente Nove (for the ferry to Murano). The layout and furnishing is fantastic (even though the kitchen could use a little refresh). It really feels like a lived-in place. A grocery store (Coop) is close by, as well as restaurants. The one right across the piazza is very good. The apartment is spacious and feels very open due to the views on both sides, over the piazza and the canal. Checkin/-out went very smooth. We can definitelely recommend Marco's apartment.
