What a pleasure to stay in Marcos home in Venice! Marco was a great host - offering suggestions on what to eat and things to do through our stay. I would definitely take his restaurant recommendations because we ate at some amazing restaurants that we may have not found on our own. He was available for questions and anything we needed. He actually came and escorted us from the boat stop on arrival ! His house is on a quiet street that was next to many cafes and restaurants. Walking distance (15/20) to ST. marks and all the highlights of Venice. The location couldn’t be more perfect. A bit out of the very touristy path so you get a feel for the local culture but close enough that it was convenient to visit all the sites. The apartment was easy to access from the train station Santa Lucia and piazza Le Roma The stop was 1 block away from the water taxi stop (San Toma) making it easy with luggage and children in tow. The apartment it’s self was impeccable!! Truly was designed and planned to feel like a modern hotel but with Venetian charm. The apartments beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms were modern and all the rooms air conditioned. Both rooms were outfitted with smart TVs and clean and modern linens that were hotel quality. The decor was very tasteful. I can’t recommend Marcos home enough. And Marco as a host made you feel at home in Venice ! We would surely come back and stay there again !
