Marco has clearly made a wonderful reputation on Airbnb as a super host, and I can assure you staying with him will meet and exceed your expectations. He is kind, informative, helpful, and incredibly quick to respond to any inquiry you may have.
Venice is a maze and it can be difficult to navigate because GPS doesn't work very well when twisting through the narrow passageways of the city. Marco personally met us and gave us step by step instructions from the airport to the spot where we met him. Once meeting, he walked us to the apartment and gave us a briefing on the city of Venice, great places to eat, and general instructions covering information we would need to make our stay more comfortable during our stay.
He also sat with us awhile and talked about his passion for sustainability and the water project he is involved with to reduce waste through his clean water initiative. I can't tell you how invaluable meeting real people like Marco who live and thrive in the city you are visiting enhances your experience.
The apartment, believe it or not, is even more impressive than it looks in photos. You will be right on the canal and very centrally located in the city. Everything is extremely walkable because of the incredible location of the Airbnb and Marco's brilliant recommendations. If you want to live like a real Venetian for a few days, this is the place for you.
Thanks for being a great host and person Marco. We will be back to see you again my friend. Cheers!
