We really enjoyed our stay at Marco's apartment, which is well-located just a short walk from the S.Zaccaria vaporetto stop. It's also very close to San Marco, if you care about that (we didn't, though it's nice to have the top of the Campanile out the window). Franco was out of town but sent helpful emails and his friendly associate Martino was prompt in meeting us, coming and going, and was also flexible about the times. The apartment itself is quite nice and comfortable, and very up to date. Wi-fi worked well, as did the washing machine. There is no electronic dryer but the hanging device worked well, at least during the hot weather.

Note: Apartment is on the top floor; stairwell only. And my iPhone found it impossible to locate the Corte, so use surrounding streets and/or buy a map! You'll need one anyway.
