We loved Max's place and the location couldn't be beat. He met us at the water bus stop a few minutes away. The place was away from the crowds with loads of ambiance. We stayed 2 nights. We ate out one night and used the kitchen the next night to prepare dinner from all the produce and sea food we bought at the Rialto market. There were also produce and fish stands right close by to the apartment. We like to buy local food and cook when we travel.Venice was awesome and we will definitely be back. Would not hesitate to stay with Max again.
