The apartment was exactly what we expected and very comfortable for our family; my husband and I and our two teenage girls. Massimo is a welcoming host. He met us at the apartment and went over everything very thoroughly. He also made accommodations to store our bags for us on the day of check out as our train wasn't until 7pm. The apartment is in a convenient location; walkable from the train station (we didn't have a lot of luggage), yet on the way to Piazza San Marco and not at all hard to find. The location appears to be more of a neighborhood with plenty of interesting restaurants and shops than in a tourist area . I would recommend this apartment to anyone.
