Massimo was an absolutely welcoming and lovely host of his charming apartment in an equally charming and quiet part of Venice. It was a short walk from the train station to the apartment (over the main bridge by the terminal). The apartment is on an upper floor so be ready to carry your bags up stairs (no elevator).
The apartment was just what our family of 4 needed. The rooms were spacious and clean and yet there was no superfluous space in the entire apartment. The bathroom was restored and clean and a perfect size for the apartment. The views from the windows, of the neighborhood, were lovely and even offered a little balcony that we were able to open the windows to on a late evening downpour. We highly recommend this perfect little spot to start and finish your days in Venice. Also, Massimo recommended a perfect, quiet little dinner spot named Il Refolo which we also highly recommend.
