Maurizio's apartment is outstanding! It exceeded our expectations by far. It is a lovely, modern, clean and spacious apartment with everything you'll need for a very comfortable stay in Venice. We didn't get to meet Maurizio, but Francesca was so gracious to meet us at the ferry stop and walk us to the apartment. All her instructions and tips were invaluable and were very much appreciated. Both Maurizio and Francesca were very quick to questions prior to booking and during our stay they could not have been more helpful. Although the apartment is a 10 minute walk to the main Saint Marco square, it is worth it for the peaceful nights sleep you'll have away from the hustle and bustle. You'll also discover some wonderful shopping and food on the way to the main square. I highly recommend Maurizio's apartment!
