Marcello met us at the train station to show us the way to his quiet well situated apartment. The apartment is clean and nicely furnished with three levels, entry is kitchen, bathroom, eating area and laundry, second floor is family room and/or extra sleeping area, third floor is bedroom. Besides meeting us Marcello helped us get Vaporatto passes for our stay and then explained the workings of his apartment, making sure we understood and knew how to contact him. The apartment, about 30-40 yards from the vaporatto stop S. Stae is easily convenient to all of Venice and its attractions.It is a place we would return to.
