Marco was a very good host! Welcomed me at the boat station, and then took me to the door. Also gave me some advice on local shops, restaurants, etc. The place is on the ground floor, which people normal advise against due to the potential high tides, but the flat is in a part of Venice where its not really a problem (it is higher than other parts). I was there for some high tides, and it didn't come close to being a problem. The flat itself is like a studio, and decent value for money. I stayed for about 6 weeks, so although on the small side it is liveable. Thanks Marco!
