Marco and Claudia were amazing hosts. We contacted them very last minute, and within hours our their apartment was ready for us (including lovely home made biscotti and a bottle of bubbles). The apartment was so nice, and furnished extremely comfortably. The apartment is on the 5th floor which is great for spectacular views of the water and there is an elevator to the floor if you are a bit tired after exploring Venice. The free water taxi from the Hilton was a little bonus too. We were very happy here and wish we had a few more days to enjoy it!
