If travelling to Venice stay with Massimo!! We had a wonderful few days in Venice and it made all the difference to have a lovely, central, cosy apartment to stay in.
Massimo is a super host. We weren't very good at following his excellent directions but we were able to call him and he met us, despite it being close to midnight!
The apartment is next to a lovely piazza where we enjoyed sitting outside for breakfast. We were lucky enough to see a film crew in action also. The coop is a couple of streets away, Rialto Bridge approximately 8 minutes, SS Apostoli a few minutes walk and lovely around this area at night-time.
Massimo's apartment was spotlessly clean, has everything you 'd need, including wellington boots, umbrellas and rain macs in case of bad weather. It is in on an extremely quiet narrow street just off a small canal, which you can see from the windows. We loved sitting in the afternoon sun on the window seat in the large living-room window.
It is close to Fondamente d'Nuve fery stop, from where you can catch a ferry to Murano, Burano, the Cimetero and the Lido. You can really walk everywhere from the apartment with ease. We got lost many times but that's part of the joy of Venice as there is so much to see around every corner.
Massiomo was close at hand and when we requested extra towels he readily dropped them in. He also spent time with us explaining where to visit, best local restaurants to dine in etc.
I have already recommended to my friends to visit Venice and to stay with Massimo and when I return to this beautiful city that's where I will be staying for sure.
