What a great stay at Massimo's apartment. He was a perfect host, allowing some flexibility in check in/out times, giving us an extremely detailed map, along with great restaurant recommendations close to the place. The apartment is outside the "touristy" area, but not by too far. You will be living among the Venetians, with a supermarket not too far away. We arrived via train and left via the airport and the closeness of the Fondamente Nove stop was very much appreciated-so easy to arrive and depart. The apartment is well equipped for cooking and we felt at home.
