Marco met us on the dock when we arrived on the water us. He brought us to his lovely apartment and explained everything we needed to know about the apartment and Venice. The apartment is just as pictured- beautifully renovated, decorated and very clean. We really enjoyed the view from the kitchen of the canal and lagoon, and we were right across a canal from the big Bienalle Art Show we wanted to visit. The location is perfect - close enough to walk to the major attractions, but not in the middle of a thousand tourists. The kitchen was well equipped for us to cook a couple breakfasts, but there are many places to eat close by. If we ever get to visit Venice again, we would stay at Marco's place!
