Marcello is a great guy who communicates very well and makes you feel truly welcome. He met us at the station and helped us take the bags to the apartment, which is a reasonable walking distance away. The location is just out of the noise of the main tourist centre, but close enough for when you want it. The local shops and restaurants are fantastic, especially Osteria Mocenigo just around the corner (fantastic value for amazing food). The apartment is large and very well set up with everything one needs. Fast internet, comfortable bed and very stylish decor which makes you feel you are in a Venetian home. We highly recommended Marcello's apartment and would definitely stay again.
