Lovely lovely apartment and an excellent host. Marco was good at communicating and giving directions and it was very easy to meet up. He gave us good tips and seemed very happy to help, he was funny and informative.
The place is clean, warm, comfortable, spacious, good bathroom and nice modern kitchen. In the mornings you are aware of everyday practical life getting going on the canal outside - great to watch, not at all noisy or intrusive. It was great having some basics, tea/coffee/oil/salt etc provided.
Location is perfect - being down alleyways away from the rush of busier areas gives you a little glimpse into how Venetians go about their everyday lives ( and there are handy local shops), but it is still easy to walk absolutely everywhere and there are some excellent places to see close by. We had some hectic busy days and it was a delight to go back, sort out a simple meal, and relax in quiet and comfort.
