If you are visiting Venice you definitely have to stay at Marcos place, you couldn’t find a better host than him. We had a little problem with one other Airbnb host and we had to find another place to stay, and after messaging Marco he was more than happy to welcome us. The apartment was spotless, very clean it made us feel like right at home. Every sighting was very near. Marco gave us some really good restaurant recommendations, all of these places were amazing.
P.S. Sorry that you had to miss the soccer game, but you definitely made our stay in Venice 100% better
