I traveled with my parents to Venice for 2 nights and Massimo's apartment was perfect for our short trip. The flat was incredibly spacious and I could see how it would be easy to fit 7 + people in it. The location was perfect, it was in a local neighborhood away from the tourist spots and a 15 minute walk from the train station. I would highly recommend that you utilize Massimo's service for pick-up from the train station (25 euros I believe) as the streets in Venice are not simple and it would have been very challenging to find the apartment on our own. It is also lovely to start your holiday with a boat ride through the canals! The large jetted bathtub is a nice touch after a long day of walking and the kitchen had everything you needed for coffee and snacks. The furnishings are very modest but the bed I slept in was comfortable and everything was clean. We also enjoyed a boat tour from our host on our last night and it was a magical way to end our adventure. Massimo was warm, helpful and always available when we needed something and Venice was the most amazing city to visit- a truly great trip from start to finish!
