Massimo's place is a great pick for a stay in Venice. Spacious, interesting and very close to the city center and everything worth seeing. It is perfect for a family; there are grocery stores nearby, great coffee as well, yet it is peaceful and quiet. The boat ride with Massimo was very nice, although we had to use it in the middle of the night due to our flight - still very beautiful. Massimo is a great host, speaks impeccable English and is very nice.
