Massimo was an outstanding host - we didn't arrive in Venice until after Midnight as our flight was delayed, but he was still very happy to meet us at the vaporetto stop and take us to the apartment, and give us a full tour and welcome briefing. His place is incredibly clean and well kept, rooms were comfortable and the kitchen well-equipped. The area is local and charming - we stayed for the Biennale, and found it easy and practical to reach both the Rialto and the Arsenale parts of the city. also very close and easy is Cannareggio for the evenings. Will 100% be staying again and highly recommend.
