The apartment was light and airy and right on a canal. We were 7 people and we were extremely comfortable there. It was perfect. We took Massimo up on his offer to meet us at the train station and he ferried all of us and our luggage to the apartment at a very good price. He went out of his way to make sure that we knew how to get around and we chose to go on one of his tours of the city in the canals, just beautiful! He was a wonderful host in a wonderful place. We truly didn't want to leave.
