Massimo is an excellent host with so many helpful tips for getting the most out of this magical city. We were pleasantly surprised by the apartment - it was more spacious than we expected and it was cleaned and ready for us earlier than we expected (much appreciated after a long overnight flight with our three children). The pull out couch was comfortable, as were the beds. Massimo was attentive, helpful and kind! He even gave our children a small Venetian flag as a souvenir as we left! What an added touch of warm hospitality! We highly recommend Massimo’s place if you want somewhere comfortable, safe, quiet, and close to the excitement of the city.
