  : Marco provided lots of excellent information on how to find the apartment and access it. It's in a terrific location, very close to everything we wanted to see and that we needed. It's mere steps to a main street with plenty of restaurants, cafs, and shops. I read another review on here complaining of noise at night, but we didn't experience anything like that at all. I made this reservation when our group was only 5, but when we added my mother to make it six Marco was attentive enough to our needs to let us know that we might be too tightly packed in the apartment, in case we wanted to change facilities. I appreciated his honesty in this regard, but we chose to stay anyway and everything worked out fine. Some store owner nearby baked fresh bread every morning and it was a dream to wake up to the smell of the baking! It also appears that Venice has very different rules about short-term rentals like this, so that owners like Marco are penalized and unable to provide any amenities to guests that other Italian city rentals provide - snacks, coffee, drinks, etc. It's a shame that Venice has had to crack down on tourist apartment rentals, so just be aware that there will not be any 'extras' in the apartment that you may have come to expect in other cities.
  : The stairs down to the bunk-bed room have one very unstable side, and only a few slats of wood to act as a 'gate', by being propped against the stair opening. The entrance to this stairwell is one small step away from the dining table, and the 'gate' would not do much to prevent anyone from accidentally backing into the stairwell and falling down the steps, so I advise caution if you are traveling with small children.
