My stay in Marco's apartment was perfect, from the warm welcome/orientation by Marco to the clean comfortable apartment, to the quiet residential neighborhood with everything you need close by (great bakery and bread shops, cafes, grocery store, laundry), to easy access to all major attractions of beautiful Venice. As a host, Marco is fantastic - friendly, speaks great English, available if you have questions during your stay, and points out some of the must see but less popular places in his city. This is the place to stay in Venice!
