Location away from tourist crowds and felt we were in an authentic Venetian neighborhood. The Campo around the corner was filled with locals both young and old going about their daily lives. A supermarket, wine bar, gelato and dessert shops and several wonderful restaurants were all within steps.
Marco was a wonderful resource. He was easy to communicate with both prior to our visit and upon our arrival. He gave us easy to follow directions and met us at the vaporetto stop to escort us to the apartment which was only a very short walk.
We appreciated his taking the time to not only provide us with a seven page PDF file with great tips on making the most of our time in Venice but he also sat down with us and on a map showed us areas to visit, best times to take in sights and crowded areas to avoid. His love of Venice clearly came through as he described areas and the joys of just “getting lost”.
The apartment exceeded our expectations. It was very clean, spacious, newly renovated with great kitchen and bath. The air conditioning was great for sleeping. The washing machine was a great bonus. The large windows along the canal brought in abundant sunshine, wonderful breezes and the sounds of Venice.
I look forward to my next trip to Venice and hopefully will once again be able to enjoy Marco’s wonderful apartment and hospitality.
