The place has a great location, close to restaurants, cafes, big-name spots and it gives you a feel of the real Venetian household rather than the Airbnb-IKEA made flat for tourists. As I never met Marcello I speculate that this is a flat of his granny and most of it is left untouched as it was when she lived there. I loved the mechanical dorr bell that goes outside on a facade. We liked it better this way than the usual standard-made places for visitors are around the world.
