We loved our stay in Italy and Venice in particular. We greatly enjoyed meeting Marcello - he is an absolute sweetheart and outstanding host. The apartment is very clean, spacious, and comfortable, and has an excellent location (a bakery and vaporetto stop within one or two minutes walk, a Coop supermarket less than a five minute walk, the Rialto bridge less than 10 minutes, and the Santa Lucia train & bus station is about a 10-15 minute walk). We highly recommend staying here and wish we could return!
