Second floor apartment with balcony and canal view IT027042C23ZLO5K7X

Massimo was an excellent host. The apartment had everything we needed and was an excellent location. About a 7-min walk to vaporetto station and 10 min walk to San Marco area. Great cafe, gelateria and bakery around the corner and a very nice piazza with great bars, cicchetti and ristorantes just a few blocks away. Views from apartment right along the canal were a nice bonus.

Massimo is an excellent host, very friendly and helpful. This is the second time we’ve stayed in one of his apartments and it won’t be the last. The apartment is very comfortable, well equipped and quiet. It’s in an excellent location 10 mins walk from both St Mark’s Square and Rialto but slightly off the tourist track in a residential area where the locals say good evening to you as you pass in the street. It feels very safe walking around at any time, including in the dark. There are many bars and restaurants in the area which are frequented by the locals and Massimo sent through lots of tips on places and restaurants to visit. There’s a baker’s 2 mins away and a Co-op 5 mins away so easy to get supplies. Communication was very easy before the stay via VRBO and during the stay via WhatsApp and Massimo gives you clear instructions on how to get to the apartment. We messaged him when we got on the boat from the airport and he was standing at the end of the street the apartment is in to meet us and make sure we didn’t miss the turning. Thoroughly recommended.

Amazing location and even more amazing host. Massimo was the best—very communicative, helpful recommendations, and warm hearted. We took up most of his recommendations and thoroughly enjoyed our time seeing the hidden jewels of Venice (as well as all of the iconic spots). The apartment had everything we needed and was perfectly located to reach everywhere we wanted to go in 15 minutes or less. We loved the neighborhood and would happily stay here again!

We loved the apartment. It was so clean and a true Venice experience. We loved being away from the crowds yet close to everything. We had a true local experience.. Massimo is so helpful and kind. Great communication. Great value. Made our stay so special.
