Location is great- very central but away from th crowds. We felt like locals for 2 days. Marco was really flexible whe we arrived earlier than planned. Space was wonderful- spacious, clean, easy for our family with 2 teen boys. We barely used the large living room. It looked like kitchen and bath had recently been remodeled with top- notch appliances. This was a bit over our budget, but I would not want to come to Venice and not stay right on the island.
