We had a great 3 day stay in Marco's flat in May 2015.

Arrival: Communication before arrival was perfect. We asked for an earlier check-in before booking because our flight arrived in the morning and we didn't want to have luggage with us till 3pm. That worked well, and Marco's assistant greeted us right as we stepped of our fairy by Marco's assistant.

Location: Overall in a convenient location. Rialto is 5 minutes. Campo Stefano is 15 minutes. We never used the public transport and just walked where we wanted to go. Most places are accessible within 30 mins walk anyway and the time saving from taking public transport is probably 0.

Apartment: If you haven't gotten used to wide angle photos yet, let me remark that the apartment is small, like 30m2. However, I have stayed in smaller hotel rooms for twice the price. So this apartment is an amazing deal. We stayed there 3 days and just used it to drop dead after a day of exploring, so no issue on it being small.

The apartment is super quiet. No noise from the street, the AC or the fridge. A small caveat is the restaurant downstairs. While there are no guests in the small courtyard below, some employees might make noise sorting bottles or something. That lasted for 20 mins. Also the restaurant produces quite a pervasive smell in the evening. If you are somebody that needs to sleep with open windows, that might be a show stopper (but why would you when there is an AC?). We just kept it closed during the night. There is no issue during the day with fresh air. Also it has a nice modern bathroom (towels, soap, toilet paper provided) and a nice modern kitchen (even some salt was there).

All in all, we saved 300 EUR using Marco's offer, that we blew on presents, dining fancy and the obligatory overpriced gondola ride.
