Spent two nights in beautiful Venice at Marco's home. Marco met us when we arrived and walked us to the apartment (which is very helpful in the maze-like streets of Venice). He was very kind and even gifted us some snacks.
The apartment itself was in a fantastic location near San Polo and about a 5-10 minute walk from Rialto bridge. Everything was clean, modern, and comfortable. If you are a light sleeper like me, you will appreciate the heavy windows which seal shut and block out all the noise.
Highly recommend!
