Massimo is a fantastic host - his place was easy to find and is located a short walk away from great places to eat and shop. It was about a scenic 50 min walk to get to the Giardini and Arsenale from his place, and we appreciated the quiet and peaceful neighbourhood that the apartment was situated in. The place has plenty of space for us two, amenities for comfort (air conditioning!) and cooking facilities was a bonus. Massimo took us for an evening boat tour of Venice which was very enjoyable and informative - he is very knowledgeable and went the extra mile to make our stay memorable. Will definitely stay again at Massimo’s place.
