We did not meet Marco but his assistant met us from the water bus and was extremely helpful in getting us into the place. The bed was comfortable and my wife and I really enjoyed the studio. The bathroom is extremely tight, especially the shower as one can barely turn around, but that can be understandable for a tiny studio in Venice. We spent almost all of our time walking around Venice and only used the studio to sleep. The location is great as it is only a few minutes from the Rialto bridge. The studio is on the third floor of an old building that is off of a tiny Venice square. The building itself is rather old and the entryway needs to be remodeled but the studio was completely renovated. Tip: Make sure you bring a water bottle as Venice has many public drinking fountains that have free-flowing, clean water that is refreshing.
