The apartment was exactly what we had hoped for. Marco was excellent at communicating and always responded promptly to any queries. It is very difficult to provide an exact time of arrival when traveling abroad until closer to the day but we found Marco very accommodating. We loved the apartment, it was so clean with beautiful decor. The location was excellent, slightly away from the mass crowds but only a minute's walk to the vaporetto on the grand canal and 15 minutes or so walk to San Marco's square. We were also very close to restaurants and bars. Perfetto!
