We couldn't have asked for a better welcome from Marcello on our arrival in Venice. After showing us the apartment, he took us for coffee and cake and gave us information about the area and how to get to the main points of interest. He also offered to look after our bags on our last day as our flight was not until the afternoon.
The apartment is basic but has everything you need for a short break, although tall people beware, the ceilings are quite low! The location is very practical as you are just a couple of minutes walk from the water ferry stop which drops you from the airport. The main attractions of Venice are just 10-15 minutes walk away and there are plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants in the immediate vicinity.
We very much enjoyed our stay in Venice, not least because of Marcello's warm welcome.
