This apartment was perfect! The location was its best feature. Despite Venice being a bit of a maze, Massimo provided us with a great detailed map of the entire island which made our travel so convenient. The apartment itself is out of the way from any major touristy areas so it's pretty quiet and calm (huge plus for our group!) additionally, the neighborhood was very safe and comfortable! We loved exploring our little corner of Venice. San Marco was only about a 15 min walk, and from there you can catch all the major public boat lines. The apartment also has great AC and wifi. Massimo was a fabulous host! He was patient with us, even though our train was late. He gave us that great map (as mentioned before) with all his recommended stops. This map was our lifeline while we explored the city. He actually has a little shop close to the apartment, so we ran into him a few times when we journeyed out. Our stay was perfect and I'll definitely be looking this place up again if I'm ever headed back to Venice.
