We had a wonderful time at Massimo’s house! The neighbourhood (Cannaregio) is one of my favourite ones within Venice, quieter and more authentic than other more touristy areas like Rialto or San Marco. It is also very convenient in terms of logistics, since it is just 5 minutes walking from the boat terminal that connects Venice to the airport, and 10 minutes from the Railway station. The house is very spacious and is perfect for a group of friends or family. Massimo also offered us to join in for a dinner, and to bring us around on his boat: we didn’t take the opportunity, as we had already full day plans for the weekend, but I’m sure it would have been a lovely experience. We also had the opportunity to leave our luggage in a storage room after checking out on the day of departure, and we found it a very convenient option, which allows to avoid the high price and long queues that you would find at the train station deposit. I hope Massimo was happy about our stay as well!
