We had an incredible time staying at Maurizio and Francesca's apartment. It was spotlessly clean and we enjoyed the modern furniture and decor. It was great having 2 bedrooms on opposite ends of the apartment for privacy. We also enjoyed using the washing machine after running out of some of our clean clothes.

The biggest benefit was the fact that Maurizio and Francesca truly care about their guests and making sure we were safe and happy. Just like all the other reviewers said, Maurizio sent a handful of emails ahead of time with directions, advice on changing out money, advice on avoiding pickpockets and other helpful tips.

Francesca met us at the boat stop and was a ray of sunshine. She was very thorough in sitting down with us and going over a map of Venice and helping us plan out some details of our 2 days there.

One thing that I thought was out of this world was the fact that Maurizio worked with us on the extra person fee when we found out our cousin living in London would be joining us in Venice at the last minute. That was really above and beyond my expectations.

Overall, it was a great apartment with all the modern amenities, in a more quiet neighborhood in Venice, for a good price and with very caring and attentive hosts. Thank you Maurizio and Francesca for making us feel so welcome.
