Marco's flat was fantastic - in immaculate condition and sparkling clean, very comfortable (especially the beds) and loads of space in both double rooms. The location is wonderful - just two minutes from a vaporetto stop and about 3 minutes from the Rialto market, with good local shops (supermarket, baker etc), restaurants and cafes on the doorstep. Although there were lots of tourists around the San Polo area, there were also lots of local people, which means the facilities locally are better - not just restaurants and souvenir shops!
The amenities in the flat were great, with plentiful hot water, a good fast heating system (necessary on return from a cold November outing!), good showers, plenty of storage. One bedroom has an ensuite, the other bedroom is down a few steps from the communal area and second bathroom. We were a family of three, so no issue; if you were two couples, one bedroom is definitely 'superior' having ensuite facilities, which might cause a difficulty. However, both are comfortable with good sized beds, comparable storage etc, so really only the loo issue... The kitchen was fine for us just having breakfast there, and eating out the rest of the time - not sure it would have sufficient equipment for a 3 course gourmet meal, but who wants to spend their time in the kitchen on holiday?! There is only one sofa in the kitchen/dining/lounge area, so not ideal if everyone wants to lounge around, but again, it wasn't a problem for us. The flat is on the first floor of an old building, so it doesn't get that much natural light. We were fine with this - we were outside all day anyway!
Marco was brilliant. Excellent communication up front, met us at the vaporetto stop (having explained how best to get there), and pointed out things like the bank and supermarket as we went to the flat. He also took the time to use a map and mark local restaurants, shops etc on it for us, which we found very helpful. We had no need to call him whilst there, but I'm confident he'd respond quickly and efficiently, as that is how he was at all other times.
Highly recommend this flat, and Marco too. We had a great stay and would stay here again, if we were lucky enough to find it available!
