Having never visited Venice, I had no idea when I booked Massimo's apartment just how great a choice it was. I soon discovered that being located a 6 minute walk from the train station, Vaparetto stop, and Grande Canal was a huge plus, as we arrived via train from Bologna and didn't have to carry our luggage very far. Also the neighbourhood is an excellent mix of accessible business (a wonderful market literally around the corner, and 2 great restaurants right across the street) while feeling removed from the hustle and bustle of the Grand Canal.
In addition to the excellent location, the apartment also is a wonderful space in which to cool off and relax from your day of sightseeing. The two bedrooms have ample space to stretch out, and the kitchen contains all that you need for making light meals.
We found the apartment to be very much as advertised, and Massimo was an excellent host, accommodating us in many ways and always communicating with us.
We will definitely be back, and will stay in the apartment again. Highly recommend!
