The location of Marco's place is great. Close to a boat stop and just a short walk to the main Square in Venice. We were greeted by Marco's wife at the boat stop and she showed us to the apartment and how everything worked. Air conditioning worked great and much appreciated in our late August warm visit. Venice is amazing and the public boat transportation runs very efficiently and was easy to navigate. We went by boat to the islands of Murano as well as Burano. There is a grocery store nearby and the restaurants on the same street as the grocery store proved to be our favorites with reasonable prices, great food and quite atmosphere. We had a very enjoyable stay at Marco's place and would highly recommend it.
