We had an excellent stay in Venice in large part due to the comfort of Maurizio's apartment. It's spacious, quiet and comfortable. We enjoyed coming back after a hard days sightseeing as much as the excitement of setting of to explore Venice. Maurizio's lovely wife, Francesca, welcomed us at the boat stop, took us to the apartment and spent time helping us get oriented. She's a Venetian and knows everything you need to know about Venice. It couldn't have been better. I thoroughly recommend this apartment and its superb hosts. Thank you, we will be back.
