Silvio met us at the water taxi stop and walked us to the apartment. It is in a great location and a close walk to many sites (about a 5 minute or less walk to San Marco). My two friends and I had a comfortable stay in Marco's apartment. We had a little trouble turning on the heater, but we didn't spend too much time in the apartment so it wasn't a big issue. The pictures are accurate and we didn't mind climbing up all the stairs - especially after eating so much food. We had a great stay. Grazie!
