Marcello was the best host we had during our entire trip through Italy! Quick to communicate and always checking to make sure everything was okay. Breakfast waiting for us in the apartment along with maps and guides to the area. Marcello was very patient as we missed our flights and were delayed a day. He was waiting for us at the vaporetto stop. Be aware that the apartment is three levels. Kitchen and bathroom on ground floor. Stairs are steep and narrow, so not best if you have mobility issues. Air conditioning unit on top floor bedroom, which made it difficult to cool lowest level, but it was very hot and humid when we were there. Loved the location! Steps from vaporetto stop in nice residential area. Just the right blend of locals and tourists. Easy walk to Rialto and San Marco. Supermarket and gelato nearby!
