Marino is a good host. He met us at the boat stop and was very flexible about the time despite our plane being late and then the boat being full so we had to wait for the next one. He is very friendly and helpful about the apartment and gave us good advice about where to go in Venice once he knew what interests us.
The apartment is comfortable and just right as a base for a short visit to Venice where what you are looking for is a safe and quiet place to sleep. We were able to self cater which was a bonus. There are a couple of supermarkets nearby plus fruit and veg, butchers and bakers within easy walking distance plus a takeaway pizza place. There are also restaurants nearby. The apartment is in an a very picturesque part of Venice away from the major tourist attractions and tour groups. This is not the right place for you if you need public transport on your doorstep - it absolutely is the place to be if you like exploring an area and are happy to walk around - the Grand Canal is about 10 - 15 minutes walk away and it only takes half an hour to walk to St Marco. Very convenient for the boats to other islands. We had a lovely 4 days in Venice and knowing we had the apartment to come back to made the visit very easy. Thank you Marino, we will be recommending you and your place to people we know who might be visiting Venice.
