We had a great experience at Massimo's. The apartment is exactly as pictured--and even brighter and sunnier than shows up in the photos. Mornings there--with swallows darting about in the sunlight--were lovely. The location is excellent, just far enough away from the crowds to have relative quiet, but you're still a short walk to all the main piazzas/campi. Massimo works around the corner so we could count on bumping into him in the morning if we had any questions. Best of all, he gave us some superb recommendations for authentic places serving authentic cichetti. We will definitely connect with Massimo again the next time we are in Venice.
