Massimo is molto sympatico and always helpful and available. He offered good recommendations about places to eat, and the kitchen in the apartment is a big plus if you want to cook. We do a lot of cooking when we go to Venice, and we appreciated the solid selection of utensils, pots, pans, and a real oven, plus a dishwasher and washing machine for clothes. Excellent food shopping within a 5 minute walk.

The apartment is cozy and has great light, nice views, and is in a very quiet location! We love this neighborhood in Cannaregio -- more of a Venetian neighborhood than a tourist area, and a short walk from the Fte. Nove Alilaguna vaporetto station. A real plus: the mattress on the bed is very good.

We enjoyed our stay here and recommend it highly. Thank you, Massimo, for being so welcoming and stopping by to visit and chat. We are flying our Venice flag in Santa Cruz!
