While we didn't get to meet Maurizio in person, he communicated with us extensively prior to and during our stay, making everything seamless. His partner, Francesca, was an absolute delight. She greeted us upon arrival and checked us in and explained the entire city to us and even walked us to St. Mark's square and gave us a restaurant recommendation. The apartment was phenomenal-- it's very large and perfectly located. I'd highly recommend the apartment for anyone looking for an amazing time in Venice.
