The place was just as pictured! Very nice spot right on the canal and walking distance to everything. There was a slight smell in the kitchen/living room, but Mario assured us it was from the canals since the water is very low at this time. Everything we needed was provided in the place. Although we did say there would be 4 of us staying and there were only 3 towels provided for us, but it was not that much of a problem. Overall very lovely place to stay in Venice. Really made you feel like you were living like a local.
