Calliope and Massimo are very gracious and accommodating hosts. The home is quite spacious compared with many accommodations in Venice, is a charming place in a charming, quiet and authentic neighborhood yet close to San Marco Square. It's a great value, and having three bathrooms/showers is such a rare bonus. Be sure to have dinner at the neighborhood Ristorante Bacarandino - best meal I've ever had in Venice.
