Mauro met me at the door and brought up my case. He gave me a lovely coffee and chatted. He is polite and friendly - he speaks fluent english. The location is super central- only 10 or 15 minutes walk from station. St Marco Church is at the top of the street -its a great landmark so you never get lost. All galleries and churches are in short walking distance. The room is perfectly clean and big- I could even do my yoga in the morning. The stairs up to the apartment is really old like in a monastery- you know you are staying in a really historical place. At the top of the street is the wonderful cafe Nubucco- amazing pezzo dolce and coffee so cheap-also lovely wine in the evening. This place is excellent value!!!
