Marcello was an absolute delight! He met us at the train station and guided us through the maze of streets to his apartment, he even carried one of our suitcases. He was very helpful and thorough in his introduction and advice and definitely added to our holiday experience. The apartment is very well located and quite large, very comfortable even for the four of us who stayed. We loved Marcello's advice to leave the map at home and 'get lost in Venice' and his restaurant recommendations were terrific. Marcello also helped us to arrange a gondola ride which we really enjoyed. We would definitely recommend Marcello and his apartment in Venice.
