Massimo received us at Marco Polo airport and drove us in his car to Venice, and to the apartment in his boat (against payment). The price of €50 was a bit expencive, but it made the arrival very comfortable and pleasant. Massimo let us in the apartment right away, even though we were 2-3 hours before check-in time. We left our things there and went out for a stroll while the apartment was cleaned and made ready. Massimo provided us with good information and tips, and also took us for sightseeing on the canals in his boat (against payment). This was very pleasant. The apartment was mostly as expected, with only minor flaws to mention: The WiFi was very slow, the oven was quite dirty (but we didn't use it anyway), and we could not find an opener for wine. Massimo also seemed to have a lot to do, which was probably why he needed to use the washing machine in the apartment during our stay. This was however no problem for us.
