Massimo's apartment was clean and comfortable for three adults.

Five minutes walk from Fondamente Nuove boat stop, and Massimo's directions and maps to the apartment were very helpful.

We messaged Massimo twice when we got on the vaporetto from the train station, but never received a response. However, we were still met on time at the apartment by Massimo's assistant. She gave us directions to the main sites and a quick tour of the apartment. We were also given a folder with heaps of maps, vaporetto timetables etc. -very useful.

We walked to the supermarket, restaurants, Rialto bridge and San Marco square in 10-15 mins, if we didn't get lost! We always felt safe in Venice though.

There were lots of condiments, tea, coffee, shower gel and washing powder in the apartment, as well as heaps of hanging space for clothes and washing.

The wifi was mostly reliable and we were able to store our luggage after checkout in a locked storeroom below the apartment. The apartment was on the second floor with no lift, but easily manageable with small suitcases.

The bathroom was cramped as it had both a bidet and toilet in a narrow corridor-like room, but the shower had ample space and a glass door (not curtain). There was a bit of mould in the shower but still felt comfortable to shower there.

The apartment overlooks a canal, which was really nice!
