Marco's apartment is in a perfect location. Very close to the train station and the Guglie water bus stop where one can get the alilaguna boat to the airport. The Alilaguna trip was so easy and fast and makes the trip to the modern airport a breeze. Now I know to fly in and out of Venice! Other vaporetto stops are close by as well. The Cannaregio area has tons of restaurants and the area has gotten a lot more crowded over the last couple of years as more and more young people make this a party area. Not a bad thing, just a happy young crowd for most of the evening along the canals. The apartment itself is very quiet because it is located in a dead end narrow courtyard and the main window is on the back garden side of the building. The apartment is behind 2 locked doors in a very safe building. About 12 easy stairs to the apartment from the ground floor. The apartment was very clean and had everything I needed, including a spectacular shower and a small washing machine! I was met by someone from the company Marco uses to take care of the apartment and he gave me all necessary information. All in all a very easy experience and a very comfortable place to stay in beautiful Venice.
