Mario‘s apartment is a perfectly balanced option. At first, I thought that Guidecca is just a cheaper compromise for me, but when I got there I felt really happy: the place is quite, no tourists, no noises, perfect view on Venice, comforting view from window and just 5 to 10 mins to get to San Marco. You also have a supermarket with everything you need in the same building where the room is. 3 minutes from waterbus station. The bed is super comfortable. Some feedbacks include complaining about host’s clothes in a room, but, come on. That doesn’t feel like a problem if you don’t have too snobbish standards. There’s also a lot of space for your clothes and things. I love the idea of kitchen being free to use. I would highly recommend Mario’s room if you prefer quite place which feels more like real vacation than just a touristish noisy mess.
