Maurizio's apartment is brilliantly located in an attractive, quiet area only 5-10 minutes from the Rialto bridge. It's an easy base to get to anywhere in the city while still being characterful and secluded. The apartment is compact and includes everything you need for a good stay (though possibly not if you're planning on cooking lavish meals -- but with so many amazing places to eat, why would you?). It's also great value for money. Maurizio is a terrific host, very friendly and with great communication throughout. He met me at the Rialto waterbus stop and walked me to the apartment, with lots of local tips along the way. It was a pleasure staying in his apartment, and I'd definitely do so again.
