Maurizio’s place is a fun, quaint Venice apartment. It felt very safe and the location was wonderful for either walking around or getting to the water taxis/Vaporetto. He wasn’t able to meet us at the Rialto stop as our arrival was later in the day than originally planned. He communicated very quickly which was great. Just stop and ask for help if you can’t walk there in about 5 minutes or less. Don’t wander about with all your bags! It is actually quite easy once you are shown the way. The kitchen is very basic so cooking much a meal is probably not the best idea. The food in Venice is wonderful anyway. The shower is indeed small but clean and modern.
