Marco's apartment is absolutely lovely! Two of the bedrooms have doors that go directly onto a patio overlooking a canal. The location is very close to a vaporetto (water taxi) stop, and if you enjoy walking, you can get to many of the major sites in about 15-20 minutes. However, the apartment itself is in a quieter part of town, which we really enjoyed. Marco was waiting for us at the apartment when we arrived, and made sure to point out the location of the nearest market, several good restaurants, and other points of interest. We arrived on a day when the high tide (acqua alta) was predicted, and while we ultimately had no issues, Marco made sure we knew what to do & had contact information available if we needed anything. If I ever return to Venice, I would definitely stay here again!
