Marcelos apartment is lovely and homely and he is a wonderful and kind host. He left breakfast food for us as well as coffee, tea and chocolates which was very thoughtful and makes such a difference for a pleasant stay! He was there waiting for us upon arrival and upon check out allowed us to store our luggage in his home until our evening train which was very kind. The area of the apartment was fantastic - many fruit and vegetable stalls and restaurants and shops, and all not very expensive compared to some other more well known areas in Venice. The only thing that was a bit difficult for us was the bed - we were very excited to have a big bed as this is not so common in Europe, but the bed frame was a bit broken in the middle and so the bed dipped in the middle which was a bit uncomfortable. Also the wifi was not working during our stay which was a little bit disappointing as we booked the apartment specifically to have wifi, but I believe this was just a temporary problem and will be fixed soon so was just unlucky for us. If the bed was fixed the apartment would be totally perfect :) Gracie mille Marcelo e Luciano! We would love to stay again next time :) Brittany and Bronson.
