We stayed at Mar e Vento for the month of February, and frankly weren't expecting much more than the nice apartment shown in the photos. Instead, what we got was not only a spectacular wintertime view of the Alps and the charming village of Epesses, but also the warm hospitality of our exceptional hosts, Marine and Jens. We have rented through Airbnb numerous times, and have rented our own place out as well, and know that many (most?) of these stays can be quite transactional. Not so with these hosts: they were genuinely terrific people -- regularly checked in with us to see how we were doing (though not in an overbearing way at all), super-helpful with their tips, and so on -- whom we are so happy to have met. We cannot recommend their place highly enough!
