We stayed at Massimo place in mid-October. The apartment is large and has a lot of rooms. Filled with a lot of old charm that we find attractive. The location right on a canal is just what we were looking for. Gondolas going by every morning with music and opera singing gave us that feeling, well here we are in Venice.
Location is great. Only a few minutes walk to anywhere you would like to go. The vaporetto (water bus) station located right in the campo (square) was a great plus. Food markets were difficult to find, but restaurants are everywhere. We didn’t make reservations. When we felt like going out, we walked out, found something that took our interest and in we went.
Check in went well. Naida met us outside and showed us around the place The apartment being located on the first floor with a low rise of stairs made access very easy. Rooms are large and arranged with 2 (bedroom and kitchen) rooms on the canal and the 3 other bedrooms overlooking a very quiet courtyard. Two baths are across the hallway from the three bedrooms.
The kitchen is large with a big table. Easy to work in. It has the basic equipment you need to get by. At least we made it work. I should say that the kitchen is the only common room in the entire apartment. There is no lounge/living room. What we thought what should have been the lounge is currently set up as the largest bedroom in the place. With the three beautiful tall windows on the canal side, the gondolas going by made this, for us, an unsuitable bedroom to sleep in. We never used the room. Which is a little disappointing, because the room screams for a late night overlooking the canal and bottle of prosecco. The basic set up is 5 bedrooms and a kitchen. There are two full baths, one is large with double sinks and a tub. I had only whished that the tub had had a rod and shower curtain because the other bath was the only shower. It does have everything else a full restroom needs. Wi-Fi was spotty. The router is in the front hall and the kitchen being the only common room is all the way at the other end of the apartment. This made the signal very weak, but it does work.
We enjoyed staying here. After the first night is started to feel comfortable and we go the feel for the place. We had great time here. Thank you for having us.
