We absolutely loved our three-night stay with Massimo. His apartment was spacious, immaculately clean, well appointed, and comfortable. We enjoyed the window seat with its view out over the canal. We made ample use of the washing machine, and the drip coffee pot (and coffee he provided) was a nice perk. We also loved the apartment's location. It lies on a quiet street in a residential neighborhood but is no more than a 15 minute walk from the major tourist sites. There is a really nice grocery store less than 5 minutes away, there are several excellent restaurants nearby, and the Fondamente Nove vaporetto stop is only 6-8 minutes away (depending on the dock) via a very straight, direct path. We used F. Nove both to arrive from the train station via ACTV line 4.2 and to depart for the airport using the Alilaguna service. Above all, as so many others have attested, we loved meeting Massimo and having him as our host. He is an excellent and helpful communicator who responds rapidly to all questions, particularly via WhatsApp. He meticulously explained directions for our arrival and met us at the apartment. He helped us plan our trip to the airport. He provided us with annotated maps of the city sharing his recommended restaurants and sites (the neighborhood restaurants he recommended were fantastic!) and discussed them with us at length. In sum, he and his apartment greatly enriched our visit to Venice, and we would love to return and stay there again. Great neighborhood, great apartment, great host.
