Massimo was a great host. He allowed us to enter the apartment prior to our scheduled arrival due to schedule changes. He has a boat and we scheduled a tour of Venice. He is very familiar with the history of the city and gave us some scenic areas that we would not have seen if he hadn't shown us. He called a restaurant and got us some dinner reservations but we had to cancel, my son got engaged instead. He understood and was the perfect gentleman giving us another place to eat that was very good.

We got a ride to the train station from Massimo at a fraction of the cost of a sea taxi.

The apartment was furnished well and there was plenty of room for all 6 adults.
