We loved out stay at Marco's apartment in Venice! The apartment was spotless, well appointed and newly remodeled. A Coop supermarket is located right around the corner, really useful if you want to eat in, and San Marco is about 20 minutes walking. We did not personally meet our host, Marco, which is fine with us - but he checked in with us when we had not yet arrived in the early afternoon - to make sure everything was okay. For check-in and initial entry into the apartment he uses Keesy. If there is anything I did not like about this - it was the fact that it cost us another $38 to use Keesy, and it was up to us to upload our documents and figure out the electronic check-in.
