Maurizio's place is amazing, it is exactly as the photo shows, very clean. We love the convience of the location yet it's very quite at night. We also love the canal view & the size of the apartment. Our family of four (2 grown adult children) had plenty of room to move around. We flew in from Paris around 5:30pm & Francesca met us at the boat stop to take us to the apartment, she had plenty of information from where to or not to eat, how to get around & how to leave the city. There were snacks, water even a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. My husband left his bag with passport at the restaurant on our first night, we called Maurizio & Francesca 11 pm, they called the restaurant for us & told the manager to keep it for us until next day. That was extremely nice of them. We also received emails with clear instructions on how to get to Venice from airport, pointers & services they offer. While we were there, Francesca checked in on us daily to make sure everything is ok & even checked in with us the morning we left. We will definitely stay here again & will refer our friends to stay here. Absolutely a great place to feel at home. You will love it as much as we did!
