Massimo's apartment was great for our 3 night trip to Venice. We took a private boat taxi that brought us right to the location and the check in process was smooth. The location was great, just a short walk to St Mark's square, far enough to be away from the crowds. The outside of the apartment building and the entry areas (note, there are no photos) are in need of repair and might be a bit off-putting, but the apartment itself is really clean, well equipped,and has a great view. It is up 4 flights of stairs, so that might be worth mentioning in the description (for those who may not be able for that) . Overall a great experience.
