The house and location are fantastic! If that is all we received, we would have been extremely happy. But Massimo provided so much more. He was in constant communication with us and provided great advice on places to visit. This was our second time to Venice and we spent a week in Massimo's home. He made many suggestions that were not on your normal tour itinerary. We also received some discounts just for "knowing" Massimo. I highly recommend Massimo's home for your visit to Venice.
